Making it easier to organise more eco-friendly events
The Bordeaux Convention Bureau has drawn up a practical guide containing 10 key steps for organising eco-positive events. The guide is available to all event organisers.
Going beyond the general best practices which apply everywhere, the guide offers a precise focus on the innovative solutions available within our territory (waste recycling, redistribution of uneaten food, integration through employment schemes etc.) and features a spotlight on local associations and their social and environmental actions.
Bordeaux Convention Bureau works with event organisers to help them deliver professional events with a positive impact for both participants and the territory.
A free service providing information and advice, Bordeaux Convention Bureau works with the organisers of professional events (agencies, companies, associations, federations, unions, coordinating platforms etc.) to help them bring their ambitions to life in Bordeaux.
BCB also offers bespoke support with the logistical side of event organization, providing organizers with solutions designed to attenuate the environmental impact of their events (calculating the carbon footprint, prioritizing local suppliers, waste management etc.), while nurturing and promoting partnerships between local associations and organizers in order to ensure that events deliver a positive social impact.
We have a team of 4 people in constant contact with both event organisers and venues and service providers, helping to bring the two sides together.
As well as providing expert advice on the logistical aspects of event management, since 2018 we have been particularly focused on helping our partners to organise events which have a positive impact for the territory. To this end we are constantly expanding our list of partners who share our values, and building closer relationships with local associations in order to champion meaningful activities which can help professional events to create positive social legacies for the places that host them.
