A Responsible Festival

The UNI ISO 20121:2024 standard was introduced to help organizations in the design, delivery and monitoring phases of the impacts generated by events.

We have decided to continue with the path of continuous improvement of management activities aimed at developing commitments on ESA issues in the management of the Festival dell 'Economia both in the design and execution of the event. We have chosen specific indicators to measure and reduce the impacts generated with the aim of implementing mitigation policies also through the sharing of our choices with all stakeholders.

Trentino Marketing, as co-organiser, has implemented its management system through processes and procedures aimed at ensuring the assessment of the economic, social and environmental impacts generated by the Festival.  Trentino Marketing has signed a formal Sustainable Development Policy document that details the objectives in the different aspects of sustainability. The Sustainable Development Policy underlines Trentino Marketing's responsibility towards stakeholders for measuring and reducing impacts and includes the definition of commitments in relation to the Principles of Sustainable Development indicated by the standard.

• ACCESSIBILITY – promoting the usability of products, services, environments and facilities
• INCLUSIVITY – developing stakeholder engagement practices
• INTEGRITY – safeguarding respect for ethical principles
• INHERITANCE – promoting a positive legacy on the territory after the Festival
• MANAGEMENT – share the sustainable development project internally
• TRANSPARENCY – communicate clearly, accurately, promptly, honestly
• RESPECT – foster opportunities and no discrimination

In line with the indications of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, with respect to the 17 sustainable development goals and in common with SproSS, Trentino Marketing, through the design and implementation of the Festival, undertakes to contribute to the achievement of the following objectives:

WATER POINT

To concretely address the global problem of pollution from plastic bottles, we have installed smooth microfiltered water dispensers in the main squares of Trento, connected to the city's aqueduct and equipped with a flow meter. Take a water bottle with you to always have fresh or room temperature water.

RECYCLING POINT

To address the issue of waste management, we have placed facilities in the main squares of Trento, for proper separate collection.

SMOKING POINT

To keep the historic center clean, we have placed ashtrays for the collection of cigarette butts.

FAMILY POINT

The Festival dell 'Economia is family-friendly.

Le Doule, mothers trained to welcome and assist other mothers, are waiting for you! You will find a space set up for a relaxing break dedicated to everyone: young and old.

Changing table, armchairs, reading and playing corner, herbal teas, coffee, kettle, etc. In short, everything you need to slow down, breathe and build new relationships, in the name of respect and environmental and emotional sustainability.

LIS TRANSLATION

For the entire duration of the Festival, the events that take place at the Cinema Vittoria will have simultaneous translation into LIS (Italian Sign Language).

ALTERNATIVE MOBILITY

To encourage alternative and sustainable mobility, in addition to public transport - buses and trains (both free if you have a Trentino Guest Card), we have set up Bikesharing services (all the information at this link). Also download the OnOff Trento APP (all the information at this link) for night services that allows you to book the bus according to your needs in Trento and the Mio Trentino APP that provides you with information on mobility (all the information at this link). Move with alternative or low-impact means!

In addition, you can use the electric tourist train, active on days from 22 to 25 May from 9:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. (break from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.) that connects all the squares of the festival Piazza Mostra, Piazza Fiera, Piazza Battisti and Piazza Duomo and at the same time the other places, theaters and different rooms of the historic center.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY AND RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

With our gadgets we promote the circular economy and responsible consumption.

The gifts that we will give to the speakers of the Festival have been produced by recycling the advertising banners of the previous editions of the Festival dell'Economia that, properly processed, have become REDO upcycling products. We have entrusted the assignment to the A.L.P.I. Social Cooperative - Start-up to Work on Individualized Projects, which offers job placement paths in Trentino with the aim of offering and creating job opportunities for people in particular situations of difficulty.

The aprons of the Festival dell 'Economia, offered to the exhibitors of the economic activities of the city centre, were handcrafted. A card has been attached to each apron to convey the message that sustainability also passes through the responsibility to reuse the materials received.

RECYCLING OF FITTINGS AND FITTINGS

To facilitate the reuse and recycling of the fittings, we manage the warehouse digitally, so we keep track of the fittings used and their characteristics.

ENHANCING THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ON THE TERRITORY

We promote the territory and local activities and encourage the use of local accommodation facilities.

INCLUSION

We promote dialogue and establish continuous relationships with all stakeholders, including the Province, Associations, Local Authorities, Tourism Companies, Consortia, Trade Associations, Operators, Companies, Schools and Tourists and Guests, encouraging the participation of all people in the events, including the weakest and most vulnerable groups and children.

We spread the awareness that the event is organized according to the dimensions of inclusivity, aiming to raise people's awareness of this issue and creating greater involvement of all the actors who contribute to the success of the event and the public.

ACCESSIBILITY AND HOSPITALITY

Trentino Marketing has adopted two documents: "Guidelines on Accessibility and Inclusion of Major Events" and "Guidelines for Reception", useful for increasing the level of reception and accessibility of events.
