REEVE (Réseau Eco-Evénement) represents a groundbreaking network in France dedicated to transforming event sustainability through collaboration and innovation. The network has made significant strides in demonstrating how events can minimize their environmental impact while maximizing their social value.
Notable success stories include the Hellfest metal festival in Clisson, where REEVE's guidance helped implement a comprehensive waste management system that achieved a 60% recycling rate and introduced reusable cup systems. Another standout example is the Nantes Digital Week, which adopted REEVE's sustainability framework to create a nearly zero-waste tech conference, complete with digital-only documentation and locally sourced catering.
Working closely with partners like Nantes Métropole and the Pays de la Loire region, REEVE has built a robust ecosystem of sustainable event suppliers and venues. Members include Le Voyage à Nantes, a cultural organization that has embraced REEVE's principles for all its exhibitions and events, and La Cité des Congrès de Nantes, which has become a model for sustainable conference venues.

Their platform connects event organizers with eco-friendly suppliers like Bout' à Bout' (reusable glass solutions) and Terra 21 (sustainability consultancy), while providing access to their comprehensive resources and certification program.
Through their collaborative approach and practical solutions, REEVE continues to demonstrate that sustainable events are not just possible but increasingly becoming the norm in France's event industry.
