The Grimaldi Forum is one of Europe's first congress and culture centres to hold ISO 14001:2015 environmental management certification.

• IMpower is powered by 100% renewable electricity. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint of our event.
• Additional measures include waste sorting, recycling of carpeting and PVC signage sheeting, reducing electricity consumption by using low-voltage light bulbs etc.
• The air conditioning of the site is based on a system of heat pumps that use seawater & groundwater as a clean and renewable energy source
• All spaces of the Grimaldi Forum are accessible to people with reduced mobility.

As part of our Women Mean Business event-long programme highlighting the voices of extraordinary women, we’ve partnered with the high-impact female-led charity Lotus Flower.

The Lotus Flower, empowers vulnerable women and girls impacted by conflict and displacement so that they are safe, have opportunities to learn, given the tools to become financially independent.

Find out how Taban Shoresh (Founder & CEO, Lotus Flower) is leading change and find out what it takes to achieve the impossible and how you can help.

From flooring to lightbulbs, we are rapidly moving away from the use of single-use exhibition builds. Here's how...

• Booths: exhibitor stands are refurbished and reused from event to event so there is no waste
• Banners: no longer destined for landfill, the PVC type material used for banners is 100% recyclable and eco-friendly ink is used when printing onto all materials.
• Flooring: all floorcovering used is now 100% recyclable
• Electrics: installations are environmentally friendly and produce zero waste. Spotlights used are very low-wattage so require a low power supply to run.
• Digital app: exhibitors are encouraged to minimize handouts by utilising our digital download QR code technology at their booths.

At FundForum, we’re committed to making a positive impact that goes beyond the event itself. Alongside the waste and emission reduction initiatives outlined on this page, we’re proud to invest in high-quality climate projects that not only accelerate emissions reductions but also uplift communities outside the event’s value chain.

These efforts allow us to address emissions in areas where we’re still working to improve, such as exhibitor logistics. By supporting these projects, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.

You can read more about some of the projects we support here:

• Bring your own coffee cup, choose the option of a mug at the barista or use the branded coffee cups provided which are 100% recyclable.
