Corporate Social Responsibility
We believe that our success is intertwined with our responsibility to society. Our CSR initiatives focus on sustainability, inclusivity, and community engagement. From supporting local charities to promoting diversity, we strive to create meaningful experiences that contribute to a better world. Take a look below to see some of our concrete actions.
Upcycled school bag donation
planitswiss Africa developed a circular impact initiative by repurposing backdrop textiles retained from our events into durable school backpacks. The bags were sewn by women engaged in social and professional reintegration programs, creating access to dignified work, skills development, and sustainable income.
Delivered to students at Gahanga Primary School, the initiative supports education while demonstrating how responsible event material management can generate meaningful, long‑term community impact.
Cardboard booth
Made in-house from FSC-certified cardboard, this booth has a minimal patented structure at the back to minimize the usage of fixing tools and glue. The cardboard still allows a robust yet light structure. This is saving materials and storage spaces, resulting in a global sustainable solution for booth production. All the lightings are LED, which has a low consumption, and 95% of the booth is made of raw materials and can be recycled.
Global Giving Initiative
As part of the Global Giving Initiative of the Buy1Give1 organization, we have conducted an initiative to provide 49 days of education for children in mining areas in India. We believe that we have the power to change lives by integrating giving into our everyday business activities.
Hand-made lanyards
Working hand-in-hand with local partners is key in progressing towards sustainable events. At planitswiss Africa, we leveraged the local knowledge of our communities and commissioned 1'000 hand-made lanyards with sustainable beads. They are easily reusable and contributed to the overall success of the event.
Team bonding experiences
Our social responsibility is also about our team members' well-being. We believe bonding moments are essential for fostering a collaborative and harmonious work environment. They help build trust, improve communication, and enhance relationships among team members.
Merchandising produced locally
Following the Women Deliver 2023 conference happening in Kigali, Rwanda, we produced bags and laptop sleeves in-house reusing the backdrops from the event. Instead of throwing away all those textiles, we upcycled them and gifted them to our partners for the event, making it a nice memorable attention.
CSR ambassadors and blood donation
Local CSR ambassadors in each country lead initiatives such as Movember, Pink October, meat-free days, while our teams are continuously trained to embed CSR as a core business practice. We regularly organizes blood donation across our offices worldwide, encouraging team engagement and contributing to local healthcare systems
