Jumping International de Bordeaux, a responsible event
Our organiser Bordeaux Events and More holds ISO20121 certification and, consistent with its strategic plan, we focus on 4 main issues.
Reducing the carbon footprint of our event
- Purchasing certified products and services.
- Using short supply chains.
- Providing a fleet of bicycles for use within the park.
- Collecting organic waste and composting horse manure.
- Installing water fountains to avoid the use of plastic bottles.
Ensuring that our event is accessible, inclusive and achieves a gender balance
- We make sure that our event is accessible to people with disabilities.
- We take great care to ensure gender balance when selecting key speakers for our event, and we implement measures to support biodiversity and inclusivity.
Encouraging the sharing of expertise within the sector
- A series of conferences will update audiences on the latest developments in the industry, share knowledge and promote awareness of equine welfare issues.
- As part of their academic project, 40 high school students from Blanquefort will act as ring crew during the Jumping International de Bordeaux.
- A Job Dating session is held.
- 180 volunteers play a key role in the Jumping International de Bordeaux, which often inspires new vocations.
Optimising material resource management
- 2860 tonnes of sand are stored on site and reused each year.
- Reusable artificial turf replaces carpet in areas where this is possible.
- Signage is kept and reused every year.
