NEEDS | BENEFITS |
|---|---|
NEEDS Welcome all overseas offices, minimizing the carbon footprint in terms of transport and transfers in particular. | BENEFITS To get to Monaco, direct flights and airport transfers by electric taxi or public transport were favored to reduce carbon emissions. Travel in Monaco was carried out on foot or by public transport. |
NEEDS Organize workshops and meetings in a responsible venue. | BENEFITS The meetings were held at the One Monte-Carlo conference center, a BREEAM-certified building. As a result of its environmental and social management, it has earned the Green Globe certification.
