To be a guardian and protector of nature, rather than its master and owner: this is the spirit of a seminar house in the Chateauform group located in the upper Chevreuse Valley, the Château Regen'Ronqueux.

The timing is obviously well chosen.

Its mission: to create a...

Until 2030, all is well. But what about after that? While the strategy for decarbonising air transport is largely based on the integration of sustainable air fuels, these "SAF" capable of reducing the environmental impact of 60% flights, the risk of running out of fuel by 2035 is looming. In all...

The new FairScore Evenementiel has just been unveiled by Kactus and FairMoove Solutions. Its aim is to make responsible commitments more legible and comparable, based - loosely - on the Nutri-Score, which is already well known to the general public.

How would you describe the MICE business since the start of the year? Laurent Gabard - It's a crisis market, with a very strong focus on the average basket. This is stable, or even falling slightly.
