CARTOON's values
Sustainable Development Policy
CARTOON’s remit is to support the animation industry by organising several types of events throughout the year dedicated to animation professionals.
At CARTOON, we aim to create safe, sustainable, and inclusive events where exchanges and
discussions are based on mutual acknowledgement and where everyone is treated with respect and as equals.
As event organisers, we are dedicated to finding better solutions to organise our events in a more responsible way and to extend this care to our workplace. Every year, we wish to go further on the path of sustainability. Step by step, we learn how to change our habits, in order to reduce our impact on the planet. The CARTOON team and all the suppliers, technicians, etc. involved in our events are working together to make it happen. Our participants are warmly invited to join our efforts and help us adopt better sustainable practices.
CARTOON strives to:
Strengthen sustainable economic growth
- Structure and organise the European animation sector for enhanced efficiency;
- Integrate our events into the local economic system;
- Create synergy among industry stakeholders by facilitating connections and business opportunities.
Minimise our environmental impact through sustainable initiatives
- Reduce the overall carbon footprint of our events;
- Prioritise local suppliers and opt for socially responsible partners;
- Promote eco-friendly transportation options;

Cultivate a better way of living together

The ISO 20121 standard sets a framework that supports the achievement of the sustainable development goals established by CARTOON, aiming for continuous improvement and always in full respect of the legal, health, safety, and other requirements applicable to the events.
The Board of Directors is fully committed to ensuring the implementation of CARTOON’s sustainable development policy. To achieve this, adequate resources are allocated.
This policy was signed on 22/05/2024 by Christian Davin (President of the Board) and Marie Bro (Vice President of the Board).
