To mark its 90th anniversary, the ARPP – Professional Advertising Regulatory Authority – made the ambitious choice to commit to the LEAD certification – Label for Events with Sustainable Ambition – a first for its General Assembly on May 22, 2025, held at Maison de la Chimie.
We are proud to have contributed to this success through a demanding process, providing our expertise and suitable infrastructure.
Among the flagship initiatives undertaken, aiming to organize a zero-waste, low-carbon event with a positive social impact:
• A 100% vegetarian cocktail, promoting local products thanks to Maison Lenôtre;
• Durable tableware, excluding any single-use items;
• A more environmentally friendly, intangible giveaway;
• A strong commitment to gender parity across all professions;
• A venue and content accessible to everyone;
• Strong partnerships such as with Café Joyeux (a catering company that employs people with disabilities).
Thanks to this shared commitment, ARPP obtained the prestigious LEAD Gold certification, an award that perfectly illustrates the strength of our partnership and our shared desire to combine event planning with sustainability.
Maison de la Chimie remains now more than ever your ally in designing more responsible events, meaningful and committed to a more sustainable future.
