ABOUT
Our CSR approach
At Galerie Joseph, we host exhibitions, events, brands and designers in the heart of Paris. Our CSR approach is based on a simple idea: to limit our impact, improve the comfort and safety of those who work in or pass through our spaces, and contribute positively to the cultural life of the neighborhood.
It is structured around four axes:
Environment, working conditions, ethically, and cultural and local roots.
1) Reduce our environmental impact
Energy consumption: 100% electric spaces
Our premises run entirely on electricity: no gas is used.
This allows us to better control consumption, limit direct emissions and more easily adapt settings according to the needs of events.
We are also working to optimize usage: lighting, heating/air conditioning, operating hours, and technical controls. Our teams and partners are regularly made aware of these best practices.
Waste: Recycle, reduce and reuse
Waste management is the responsibility of our residents: this is clearly stated in our agreements. We ask them to sort their waste (packaging, paper/cardboard, glass, residual waste) and we ensure that the necessary infrastructure is available.
We limit disposable printing and materials as much as possible, and encourage reuse: signage, structures, event furniture, scenography elements… all objects that can have several lives.
More responsible logistics
We encourage the grouping of deliveries and efficient planning of assembly and disassembly in order to avoid unnecessary journeys.
Where possible, we favour local service providers and less emissive transport solutions.
2) Social: safety, respect and quality of service
Health and safety at the heart of operations
Our protocols govern each step: assembly, disassembly, movement, handling, visitor flow management.
Prevention and coordination with service providers are essential to ensure safe and controlled operations.
Inclusion and respect
Discriminatory or violent behavior is not tolerated.
We are committed to providing a professional and respectful welcome to all: visitors, teams, artists, service providers or partners.
Respect for the neighborhood
We take care to reconcile event activity with the tranquility of the neighborhood: cleanliness, management of congestion, traffic, respect for schedules and noise pollution.
3) Ethics, compliance and responsible relationships
We strictly apply the legal and contractual obligations related to the operation of our spaces: security, insurance, occupancy rules.
Our business relationships are based on transparency: quotes, booking conditions, rules for using the premises.
We select our partners based on criteria of reliability, quality and compliance.
4) Cultural engagement & local roots
Partner of Paris Design Week
Galerie Joseph is an official partner of Paris Design Week – Maison & Objet +1.
We put our spaces at the service of the design scene and the new generation by opening our galleries to exhibitions accessible to the public.
Support for young talent
Each year, we make a gallery available free of charge at 116 rue de Turenne to host exhibitions of young designers as part of Paris Design Week Factory – Turenne.
A concrete way to support the emergence of new talents and to participate in the cultural dynamic of the Marais.
Our concrete commitments: to move forward, measure, improve
We favour a pragmatic approach: do, evaluate, improve.
Our current priorities:
Strengthen sorting and cleanliness during events.
Reduce the use of single-use consumables.
Continue to improve security procedures and technical coordination.
Further develop the reuse of scenography and signage elements
