EQUIP AUTO Paris 2025: a committed and responsible tradeshow, for sustainable mobility
______________
Paris, 4 September 2024 – EQUIP AUTO, the business and innovation-focussed gathering for the automotive and related services industry, will be celebrating its 50th anniversary from 14 to 18 October at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. With exhibitor stand bookings continuing apace, this anniversary edition will be a chance for the exhibition to display its corporate social responsibility (CSR) ambitions and approach. By adopting the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), EQUIP AUTO asserts its commitment to a brand of mobility that is environmentally friendly, socially responsible and supervised from an ethical perspective.
A committed and responsible tradeshow, in a world in motion
In the belief that the future of the automotive industry will require that environmental, social and governance issues are fully taken on board, EQUIP AUTO places sustainability at the heart of its development strategy. Adopting the CSRD is a key step in this approach, enabling the event to comply with the most exacting European standards in the area of sustainability reporting.
“We are standing at a critical moment in the mobility sector, where environmental and social challenges define not only the future of our sector, but also the way in which we, players in this ecosystem, should position ourselves and act,” says Philippe Baudin, chairman of the EQUIP AUTO tradeshow. “At EQUIP AUTO, we have decided to fully embrace this dynamic. This is why we have decided to take a clear path down the road of corporate social responsibility (CSR) by adopting the European standards for corporate sustainability disclosures.”
A 2025 show under the banner of sustainability
At the 2025 edition of EQIUP AUTO, an array of initiatives will aim to reduce the environmental impact of the event and promote responsible practices among visitors and exhibitors.
These actions will include:
- Highlighting companies participating in the event that stand out through their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performances,
- Promoting eco-designed stands and providing resources to help exhibitors adopt responsible practices,
- Conducting practical measures to reduce energy use, waste and greenhouse gas emissions,
An appeal for collective mobilisation
EQUIP AUTO wishes to play a role as a catalyst in the transformation of the automotive industry. The exhibition calls on all the players in the industry – exhibitors, visitors and partners – to mobilise in favour of more sustainable and responsible mobility.
“We firmly believe that the transition towards sustainable mobility can only happen through collective mobilisation,” stresses Aurélie Jouve, EQUIP AUTO exhibition director. “EQUIP AUTO will be a driving force in this transformation by showcasing solutions and best practices, and by fostering dialogue between all the players in the sector. EQUIP AUTO is working towards making its fiftieth anniversary in 2025 a milestone event, by fully taking account of sustainability in all its dimensions. I am sure that this collective determination will mark a positive turning point for our industry, and will make our events ever more relevant.”
