Strong commitment to quality of service and sustainable tourism and events

OUR CSR POLICY

Destination Angers is fully committed to reducing the ecological impact of the tourism, business tourism and event sectors, in close connection with the Urban Community’s Ecological Transition Contract (in French).

Our commitment to a responsible approach aims to strengthen the positive impact of the actions we manage while reducing their environmental footprint.

This strong commitment is reflected in our eco-responsible purchasing policy, waste management and energy efficiency measures, as well as in our corporate culture and the awareness raising we do among our partners.

Our CSR policy has four main focuses:

  • Ensuring a responsible management approach that is compatible with economic performance that benefits the local area and our clients
  • Controlling and reducing the environmental footprint of the events we organise and host
  • Ensuring the professional fulfilment of staff – who are our source of creativity and performance
  • Developing and promoting responsible and high-quality visitor services with all players in the events chain.
