OUR IN SHOW ESG APPROACH


ESG (Environmental, Social and Gouvernance) has become an essential part of our activities and our society. The Piscine Global trade show aims to concretely limit its environmental impact and is 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.
