An organisation that leads by example<\/h2>\n

As an international organisation keenly aware of its environmental footprint, AIVP very quickly took steps to mitigate it<\/strong><\/span>, while also adopting a responsible social policy to promote well-being in the workplace<\/span> <\/strong> and a good work-life balance<\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

Graine en main<\/h2>\n

Since 2010, it has been standard practice for AIVP to set aside 4% of the registration fees for all its events, to help offset their environmental impacts. AIVP realises that the global events it organises generate greenhouse gas emissions. But it believes that these gatherings offer a vital opportunity to share views and ideas, with the aim of making our port cities more sustainable.<\/p>\n

AIVP has joined forces with Saaltus<\/a>, a company that funds numerous agroforestry projects. The current partnership concerns funding for the Graine en Main<\/a> project, just a few kilometres from AIVP\u2019s headquarters. Graine en Main operates a 7 hectare organic market garden in the heart of the city of Le Havre (France). It employs 20 staff on professional integration contracts designed to help people into work, and every week distributes some 300 baskets of fresh vegetables locally.
