Sustainable development is a priority for ExpoCité, which has adopted a Climate Plan 2025–2030 to structure its actions.
This plan positions the organization as a leader in the implementation of climate initiatives. ExpoCité’s 2025–2030 Climate Plan will lead to a 53% reduction in direct emissions by 2030 compared to 2019, notably through the target to valorize 75% of waste.
