Sustainability

Sustainability has become an increasingly important topic in today's world and goes beyond environmental concerns – includes social and economic dimensions. DrupaCon Lille 2023 Organizers are committed to deliver more sustainable conference with positive impact to everyone. We are happy to partner with Terra Verde who supports us towards our sustainable mission. 

“Sustainable tourism should not be considered a special form of tourism, rather all forms of tourism should strive to become more sustainable.” OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development).

What we do towards the sustainability?

By taking these actions, we can contribute to a more sustainable and responsible Conference that not only benefits the environment but also sets a positive example for attendees and the event industry.

  • Lille Grand Palais as a venue with strong sustainability practices which easily accessible for participants
  • Catering with only vegetarian & organic options which are locally sourced
  • Co-operation with local suppliers and partners
  • Reducing production of conferences materials and printing
    • Digitalize where possible
    • If not possible, choosing high quality products and/or from recyclable materials
  • Discussion with Sponsors and Exhibitors how to contribute towards our sustainability mission
  • Calculate the conference's carbon to be able optimize for upcoming DrupalCons Europe
