Since 2022, the Convention Centre Antipolis has proudly held ISO 20121 certification, standing alongside flagship events such as the world-renowned Jazz à Juan Festival and the Azurarena Sports Complex. Guided by a responsible management system driven by quality and sustainability, Antipolis sets new standards for excellence in the event industry.
In harmony with the values of the City of Antibes Juan-les-Pins and its Tourist and Convention Bureau, Antipolis reaffirms its strong commitment to shaping a more sustainable future for events, placing the following strategic priorities at the very core of its development vision:
A Convention Center in Action:
This exemplary approach positions the Antipolis Convention Center as a reference point and committed player in fostering more responsible event management in the region.
We reduce and recover waste:
- Four-stream waste sorting (paper-cardboard, plastic, glass, and biowaste)
- Composting of biowaste for planter maintenance
- Reusable glasses, carafes, and tableware; gradual phase-out of disposable cups
- Water fountains available
- Collection of cigarette butts for recycling
- Redistribution of unsold food products
We reduce and recycle materials used:
- Removal of carpeting from booth areas (unless requested by the organizer)
- Reuse of undated event signage banners
- Repurposing exhibition materials (e.g., staff kitchen refurbishment with laminated wood panels from exhibition stands)
We save energy daily:
- Heating and air conditioning adjusted according to activity needs
- Systematic switching off of lights after use
- Use of low-energy lighting
We encourage eco-responsible travel:
- Promotion of soft mobility
- Carpooling solutions offered
We practice responsible purchasing and support committed suppliers:
- Mandatory sustainability criteria in tenders (20% of overall score)
- Local and ethical partnerships (Antibes bakeries and biscuit makers, regional wines, seasonal products and fruits, local artisans, etc.)
We raise awareness among our audiences about responsible practices:
- Installation of playful signage, inspired by the “nudge” method (gentle incentive), in our spaces
We promote delegate well-being:
- Activities and services focused on fitness and well-being (yoga sessions, morning runs, zen massage areas, sensory perfume workshops, coastal trail walks, etc.)
- CSR awareness activities (collaborative workshops on climate and biodiversity, nature walks, environmental escape games, etc.)
And staff well-being:
- Work flexibility: anticipating activity peaks and managing rest periods
- Regular team dialogue spaces for each event
