5 eco-actions to reduce Big's environmental impact

To help us meet our commitments and reduce our carbon footprint, we invite you to adopt a few green actions when you come to Big.

Leave your car behind and use your bike, public transport or carpooling to come to Big.

Acting for the climate means first identifying and then reducing greenhouse gases. To do this, you can measure the carbon footprint of your travels and why not offset them with an association.

For the sake of the planet, choose local, seasonal, balanced food and, if possible, mostly vegetarian. To help you do this, the Accor Arena offers seasonal catering, produced on site via short-distance purchases, and fights against waste. Unsold food is redistributed to the "Le Chaînon Manquant" network.

To better protect the environment, think about sorting your waste. Thanks to its sorting policy and its partnership with "Les Joyeux recycleurs", the Accor Arena recycles paper, bottles, cans and coffee capsules... And to avoid using water bottles and other cardboard cups, always carry a water bottle.

In order to limit the use of single-use plastics, please leave your necklace with us when you leave the Accor Arena. They will be reused at a future event.
