OUR ESG APPROACH

 

ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) has become an essential part of our activities and of our society. The Eurobois trade show aims to concretely limit its environmental impact by implementing dedicated action plans. Our objectives are to reduce the carbon footprint, limit the use of disposable items to maximize our circular economy, and to develop diversity and the territories of our exhibitions.
