Our CSR commitments

Our reason for being
At Domaines & événements, we breathe new life into exceptional heritage venues set in the heart of nature, to bring people together, create shared moments and evoke memorable emotions.
Our social responsibility also means opening our estates to local, friendly events throughout the year: Heritage Days, Christmas markets, Easter egg hunts, neighbours' days… So many opportunities to build ties with the residents and communities around us.
Preserving the nature surrounding our estates is one of our top priorities, with initiatives such as turning our grounds into LPO wildlife refuges to support biodiversity and a harmonious balance between people and nature.
We take care to preserve the authenticity of these historic places while adapting them to today's uses, so that this heritage can be passed on to future generations and the cultural richness of our regions can live on.
Our concrete actions
Our approach is now recognised by the FairScore Événementiel CSR label, an independent certification that assesses event venues on the environment, purchasing and sourcing, and social and local impact. The first of our venues to be assessed, Domaine de Vaujoly was awarded an A rating: welcome recognition of the work our teams do every day, and a benchmark for all of our estates.
Estates & management
From the renovation of our venues:
Virtually no land development: we bring existing places back to life rather than building new ones.
Gradual replacement of fuel oil, installation of heat pumps and improved insulation of our buildings.
Electric vehicle charging points and automated defibrillators on our estates.
Investment in biodiversity, including beehives on some of our estates.
Careful water management, thanks to the wells, springs and moats on our estates.
Day to day, during your events:
Constant attention to reducing waste and single-use plastic.
Eco-labelled cleaning products.
A gradual switch to LED lighting across our estates.
Partners and suppliers also selected on CSR criteria.
Local jobs and locally sourced supplies, particularly from craftspeople in our regions.
An electric car for our teams' travel between estates.
Teams & offices
We are committed to fairness, with a gender-balanced management committee and annual bonuses for all our employees.
Our teams work in the coworking spaces of Emergence, known for their strong CSR policy.
Two team retreats are held each year in France, favouring train travel and car-sharing, and we prefer sharing digital documents over printing.
Every newcomer follows a full onboarding programme (health & safety, employment law, internal tools…) and receives a reusable bottle and mug to cut down on disposable plastic at the office.
