Aware of the environmental and social impacts generated by events, Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement is committed to designing Wind for Goods in a sustainable manner in order to limit its negative impact on the environment and society as much as possible. For the first 2 editions, Wind for Goods was awarded the ‘eco-committed event’ label (level 1 and then level 2) by REEVE. This certification process allows us to use a structured and progressive method, to benefit from feedback from many other organisers and to be part of a credible and verified process.
In 2025, Wind for Goods will be building on its achievements and taking advantage of this 3rd edition to continue proposing new sustainable practices that will mobilise all our stakeholders (organisers, exhibitors, speakers, service providers, partners).
Because meals are meant to bring pleasure, we offer a high-quality, well-balanced catering service that is good for your taste buds and the planet.
To control quantities and limit food waste, we invite you to register here in advance to reserve your lunches and/or cocktails on 19.06.
Wind for Goods has designed its scenography and the entire event with an eco-friendly approach, without however compromising on creativity.
To ensure that the communications surrounding the event are part of a responsible approach, we are focusing on the essentials.
To reduce our waste, we need to know what we're throwing away! Nantes Saint-Nazaire Développement, organiser of Wind for Goods, is committed to understanding, sorting and raising awareness about waste. Knowing what's in our bins will help us to reduce the amount we throw away.
Wind for Goods, the only international event dedicated to wind-powered maritime transport, is first and foremost committed to promoting solutions for a more sustainable economy. A perfect ground to further inform on all the individual and collective actions that can be implemented for environmental transition.
Because every detail counts when it comes to reducing our carbon footprint, Wind for Goods is innovating when it comes to mobility!
New: in partnership with Les Boites à Vélo and Humbird, we're offering you a unique experience: a trip by bike-bus to get to the event in a different way. Designed in Nantes, the Woodybus will take you from the station to the Alvéole 12 submarine base. It's a first step towards rethinking the way we get around, in a friendly, efficient and environmentally responsible way. Get on board and let's pedal together towards a more sustainable future.
We are always looking for ways to improve and become more environmentally friendly, so your feedback is important to us.
If you have any suggestions on how to make our event more environmentally friendly, please feel free to contact us!
