MIPIM has pledged to be a pioneering event in matters of sustainability. Making MIPIM cleaner is one of our commitments.
Waste minimisation
Minimising the waste that MIPIM generates is a key priority that we share with our partners, visitors and stakeholders to make improvements year-on-year.
In 2023, MIPIM generated 32% less waste than in 2022, despite an increase in visitor numbers. Our goal is to continue to reduce waste by around 10% every year.
A plastic free, print-at-home, badge
MIPIM 2024 badges are plastic free, and print-at-home, with cardboard holder. Printed badges and badge-holders will be recycled at the end of the show, while hooks within the lanyards will be rused by a local association to create bags.
MIPIM 2024: Rolling up the carpet?
MIPIM 2024 will extend the usual warm welcome to our delegates, but we plan on using a little less carpet to do so. While some carpeting is necessary to cover uneven floor areas, we have committed to using 3 tonnes less carpet at MIPIM 2024. That's approximatly 8,500 sqm reduced carpet usage!
Support for decorators
Alongside our partner GreenBee, a non-profit association based in Cannes, we share our targets and expectations with the decorators that work at MIPIM for us and our customers. Before MIPIM 2024, GreenBee got in touch with all decorators operating at MIPIM.
Rented Furniture
We care about what we use to build spaces, and how we build them. We have a store of furniture which is reused across all RX events, ensuring that tables and chairs have a long life.
Eco-friendly signage
Most interior signage are Abiplex, a versatile and innovative cardboard manufactured entirely in Spain, from a rational use of raw materials and energy, with papers coming from sustainable forests and aqueous adhesives. It respects the nature and all of us.
Biowaste
Thanks to a partnership with les Alchimistes, all MIPIM-organized events will transform bio-waste into high quality compost. Les Alchimistes have more than 60% of their operational positions filled by individuals on job opportunity schemes.
Donation
We collect and reuse a range of assets thanks to our partnership with GreenBee, a non-profit association based in Cannes which specialises in upcycling materials used at events. Success stories include social housing in the Alpes-Maritimes region, a bakery, a Hack Lab, and educational store and so much more.
Recycling cigarettes
Cigarette butts will be collected by MéGO!, for recycling. MéGO!'s aim is to raise awareness, collect, and recycle, transforming your spaces, cities, and natural environments into zero-cigarette butt areas while accelerating the transition towards a circular economy.
The MIPIM Sustainability Pledge
We are inviting exhibitors to join us in becoming signatories of an ambitious agreement and to commit to low carbon transporation, a greener stand and active engagement with the values of diversity, equity and inclusion.
