Monaco’S Green Venue

The Grimaldi Forum Monaco offers a sustainable solution for every event. As a leading player in the world of events, and conscious of the importance of limiting its environmental footprint, it is fully committed to protecting the environment, reflecting the Principality’s approach in general.

Monaco’s congress centre has been ISO 14001 certified for five years. It has an admirable environmental track record: 71% of the light bulbs on the premises are low-energy; it has reduced its water consumption by 40%; it recycles 500 tonnes of waste per year, particularly from events (such as carpets, PVC sheeting, wood and metal); uses recycled or FSC paper for its communications and only ecologically approved cleaning materials for the day-to-day housekeeping of the building. It was one of the first European congress and cultural centres to attain this certification. This was the culmination of work begun in 2007 by all staff with the aim of becoming a key player in “green” issues. The Grimaldi Forum’s “Act Green” team can help organise an event that has a low impact on the environment. They can offer unobtrusive yet educational support, so the event runs smoothly.
