We have always been committed to preserving our society and our environment. Both individually and collectively, everything is geared towards reducing the impact of our activities on the environment.
Here at Media Product, we are fully aware that events and stand facilities are very much temporary solutions – but that’s never hindered to our commitment to the environment!
This is why we have implemented a series of procedures which are adapted to the products and resources we use, to ensure that our processes remain ethical, sustainable, and environmentally sound.

The importance of the ISO 20121 standard
A few months ago, MEDIA PRODUCT began working towards the ISO 20121 certification.
This standard concerns events and stand companies in particular. It sets out guidelines and lists the best practices for managing an event while controlling its social, economic and environmental impact. Since it was first introduced in 2012, it has brought the need for improvement in the sector into sharp focus.
We must stress that this is:
Participation-based
It identifies and integrates the expectations and requirements of employees, suppliers, clients, and partners.
Progressive
It is based on the principle of further improvement (a new certification audit is conducted every 3 years to identify the progress made and the adjustments to the company’s actions).
Significant
This standard reflects a responsible and sustainable strategy, both in-house and externally.
Visible
It implies the implementation or continuation of concrete actions put in place by the company.
Why choose this strategy?
We are deeply committed to consolidating our CSR strategy on a daily basis, working daily to improve it further, promote it, and ensure it is recognised by our clients and our colleagues.
Unusually for our sector, we are aiming to secure this certification for the entire value chain, from production and installation all the way to transport.
By keeping every step of the project in-house, we can guarantee that our environmental impact is 100% under control.
Now, we can shine a spotlight on everything we do here at Media Product to promote sustainable development. We know that many of our clients share our values, apply them to their own business, and encourage us in our efforts.
So, let’s work together to ensure that we can succeed together, at every level!
