Forum Mondial 3Zéro 2023

Our commitments 

The 3Zero World Forum offers a space for learning, meeting and high-level work to the actors of change, with the objective of providing everyone, citizens and organisations alike, with the means and tools to think differently and act to combine social justice and ecological transition. 

In order to ensure coherence and alignment between our activities and our global ambition, we at Convergences regularly question our practices. We wish to make the 3Zero World Forum an engaging, impactful and eco-responsible space, and we work every year to improve on the event's global organisation.

Reducing our environmental footprint

The 3Zero World Forum brings together several thousand participants each year. Like all events, the Convergences forums are by their very nature polluting activities that emit greenhouse gases. 
Convinced that forums are impactful and important moments, we are no less aware of the deleterious impact of the events sector on the environment. Each year, we intensify our efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of our forums as much as possible, through the following measures:
  • Banning the use of disposable tableware; 
  • Offering only vegetarian catering; 
  • Limiting printed material to what is strictly necessary; 
  • Anticipating the sorting and management of waste; 
  • Renting rather than buying furnitures, and favouring eco-designed when possible; 
  • Raising participants' awareness.

Promoting inclusion and diversity

The primary mission of Convergences is to build bridges between actors from all sectors, to ensure a better representation of the issues and the development of solutions adapted to the achievement of the SDG. Our project therefore aims to open the dialogue to all structures of society. These drivers are reflected in the organisation of our events by three main principles: 
  • Inclusion: over the years, we have developed an open methodology, based on voluntary participation, to ensure that the issues are representative of all those who wish to take part in the conversation. This methodology is reflected in the year-round setting up of our working groups and the co-construction of the programme through a call for contributions. 
  • Equality: our team is also committed to achieving gender balance in the choice of our speakers. 
  • Accessibility: we systematically ensure that our events are accessible to people with disabilities.

Transparency

Convergences is always looking for the best practices in terms of eco-responsibility! 

We do everything in our power, within the limits of the resources we have at our disposal, to offer an exceptional experience every year, which combines quality, efficiency, sharing and commitment. We are committed to being transparent about the progress of each measure we take, and we know that many efforts still need to be made. Hence, we are always open to your suggestions for improvement and your critical feedback on the organisation of the 3Zero World Forum : events@convergences.org.
