A GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING AND INTEGRATING THIS ECOLOGICAL INDICATOR
In a context where sustainability and social responsibility are becoming central concerns for both businesses and consumers, GL events Mobilier is firmly committed to an approach rooted in environmental assessment and transparency. By integrating the Eco-Score developed by Eco-Impact, we are taking a major step forward in offering our clients responsible and innovative event furniture, clearly identified in terms of its ecological and social impact.
What is the Eco-Score?
The Eco-Score is an indicator created by Eco-Impact, an organization dedicated to promoting ecological transparency. It aims to provide a clear and accessible assessment of the environmental impact of products. Inspired by the Nutri-Score used in the food industry, the Eco-Score assigns a score from A to E, where A represents minimal environmental impact and E maximum impact
How does the Eco-Score work?
The Eco-Score takes several environmental criteria into account when evaluating a product:
- Carbon Footprint: Greenhouse gas emissions produced throughout the product's life cycle.
- Water Consumption: the use of water resources required for production
- Biodiversity: Impact on local and global biodiversity
- Use of Chemicals: The quantity and toxicity of chemicals used.
- Renewable Energy: The proportion of renewable energy used in the manufacturing process.
These criteria are then weighted and combined to produce a final score that is easily understood by consumers.
WHY IS THE ECO-SCORE IMPORTANT FOR GL EVENTS MOBILIER?
- Transparency and trust: Thanks to this indicator, our clients can now select their event furniture with greater awareness and a clear understanding of its environmental impact.
- Showcasing Commitments: Acting for the environment without compromising on style or quality? The Eco-Score helps our clients quickly identify the most sustainable products.
- Regulatory Compliance: By adopting the Eco-Score today, we are jointly anticipating future European and national sustainability regulations.
- Resource Optimisation: Regularly assessing our products using the Eco-Score allows us to continuously improve efficiency and ensure responsible resource management.
HOW DO WE INTEGRATE ECO-SCORE INTO OUR PRACTICES?
Beyond the initial assessment, our ambition is to make sustainability a driving force at the heart of our organisation:
- Ongoing Evaluation: Regularly identifying and improving the environmental score of our furniture ranges.
- Sustainable Innovation: Investing in eco-friendly materials and more responsible manufacturing methods.
- Training and Awareness: Training our teams through webinars, Climate Fresk workshops and internal events to ensure effective ownership of the Eco-Score.
- Proactive Communication: Clearly displaying the Eco-Score in our digital tools and at events to help guide our clients towards more sustainable choices.
