The Foundations of : Our CSR Approach

CO-NECT has been ISO 20121 certified since 2018, the international standard for responsible event management. This commitment ensures a structured and continuously improved approach aimed at reducing environmental impact, improving social conditions, and enhancing economic performance. The certification requires annual monitoring and continuous improvement of practices across all of the company’s business units.

As a signatory to the Diversity Charter since June 2024, CO-NECT reaffirms its commitment to promoting an inclusive, respectful work environment that is open to all talents. This commitment is reflected in concrete actions to promote equal opportunity, prevent discrimination, ensure responsible hiring, integrate employees, and foster skills development throughout their careers.

As signatories to the Charter on Supplier Relations and Responsible Procurement since October 2024, we are committed to building relationships based on trust, fairness, and transparency. This approach guides our purchasing decisions, prioritizes local partners, and incorporates social and environmental criteria into all of our collaborations.

Using Cléo Carbone allows us to measure the carbon footprint of our activities and the events we support using a methodology recognized by the industry. This analysis provides concrete data to inform design decisions, optimize resource use, and sustainably reduce environmental impacts.

In 2026, we were recognized by ChooseMyCompany at the Platinum level—the highest level of recognition awarded by the platform—and we place listening to and engaging our employees at the heart of our corporate mission. This distinction, based exclusively on feedback from our teams, highlights the quality of our work environment, the meaning we give to our work, opportunities for growth, and the trust that drives relationships within the company.
