Collaborating with sustainable and local suppliers
EUBCE supports local and regional business; suppliers are chosen on the basis of proximity and reliability in compliance with sustainability requirements.
Using sustainable catering and planning solutions to reduce food waste
EUBCE develops a catering concept that fits into the overall strategy of making the meeting as sustainable as possible. Coffee breaks, lunch and dinner menus offer a range of organic, local and vegetarian dishes, reducing the carbon footprint of the dish along its entire production chain from farm to fork.
EUBCE also works closely with partners in Marseille to prevent food waste by making donations of left-overs where needed.
Selecting sustainable and re-usable materials
EUBCE works closely with its suppliers and local vendors to select recycled materials for bags, badges and lanyards, eliminate styrofoam packaging and ensure the procurement of eco-friendly goods. In addition to efforts to reduce the use of materials, waste is recycled and monitored.
