6 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.

To limit plastic bottles, water fountains have been put in place. Reusable cups will be made available to you in the heart of the Accor Arena as well as on sale at the Big Boutique. Remember to bring your water bottle, it’s even better!

Your lanyards have several lives and are not single-use! We invite you to return them when leaving the Accor Arena in the containers provided for this purpose. They will be reused during our next events.
