Event services commited to an environmentally-responsible approach

MCI France

An agency certified ISO 20121
As the first events planning agency to sign the UN’s Global Compact, in 2007, MCI Group is a pioneer in the production of environmentally responsible events. MCI Group is one of the first firms to have created a Sustainable Development Consultancy Unit. At MCI France, in addition to charity initiatives actively supported by colleagues (such as ‘Restos du Cœur’ and ‘Papillons Blancs’), the 300 conventions and events managed each year are subject to an environmentally responsible approach, in terms of the teams’ day-to-day management and proposals made, from simple initiatives to highly engaged schemes.  For example, a partnership with the NGO Bibliothèques sans Frontières, based on the principle “one conference participant = one book”, helps supply SAMU Social emergency services, refugee camps and emergency accommodation centres, a partnership with UNICEF for cloakroom management makes it possible to fund the purchase of thousands of vaccinations against polio and save children by buying high-protein foods, and a partnership with PHENIX enables the reuse of food and non-food products. Let’s continue to make event planning an exemplary sector in the service of the public interest!
