Sustainable Development Week
Get your footprints!
European Sustainable Development Week kicks off this May 30, 2016. Campus Les Fontaines is the first eco-labeled seminar center in the Paris region. It was certified with the European ecolabel in 2008 and renewed every 2 years. The Campus has implemented concrete measures exceeding the standards imposed in the Afnor criteria, obtaining 56 optional points out of the 29 required in 2014.
In addition to its day-to-day involvement, the Campus will be highlighting initiatives and actions to be discovered on Campus.
e-Waste exhibition
After a successful six-month exhibition in Brazil, the e-Waste is now on show for the first time in Europe on the Les Fontaines Campus. The project originated in Brazil, supported by Capgemini to illustrate and highlight the recycling of IT and electronic waste. How do you transform a smartphone, printer components or even cameras into a Wall-e-like robot, an interstellar vehicle or a modern-day Goldorak? The four Brazilian artists commissioned by Capgemini had no shortage of creativity.
Catering
Local producers and organic, seasonal and ethical products will be given pride of place on our plates. This is a year-round approach to preserving natural resources.
Biodiversity
Educational tours of the 52-hectare Campus park will be organized, to discover the flora and fauna, including the 39 breeding bird species present, as well as the environmental approach (waste management and recovery, composting...). You'll also discover the park's five beehives, which provide the delicious honey we enjoy every morning.
365 days a year...
Since it opened in 2003, Campus Les Fontaines has demonstrated its commitment to eco-responsibility through a number of concrete initiatives and the annual assessment of the site's CO2 emissions.
Reduction of energy (electricity and gas) and waterconsumption, through the systematic use of energy-saving equipment and practices (low-energy lighting, better management of time slots, automatic switching off of heating or air conditioning as soon as a bedroom window is opened, water fountains, flow reducers, water-recovery washing machines, etc.) and reduction of the number of kilometers travelled by suppliers.
The use of renewable energies, notably with the installation in 2011 of geothermal energy to heat and cool the 300 rooms, which was the subject of one of the largest private worksites in France.
By carrying out an annual carbon footprint assessment, Le Campus Les Fontaines enables its customers to control the ecological footprint of their events.
