For almost 15 years, Aquapax multi-award winning water, packaged in paper cartons, has led the market as the original ‘eco water’. Aquapax low carbon impact carton packages are made from majority renewable and wholly recyclable materials. The paperboard used in Aquapax cartons is from sustainable forests, with Certified FSC chain of custody, reinforcing Aquapax water’s trademark as ‘a pure thirst for the environment’.  

Every Aquapax water consumed at the 2021 Monte-Carlo Television Festival, will contribute to The Aquapax Reforestation Programme, committed to collecting indigenous tree seeds and establishing tree nurseries.

The programme creates meaningful employment with specific small holder farmers on their own land, and is geared to making a difference through ecological restoration.

The Grimaldi Forum, which has ISO 14001:2015 certification, is a major partner of the Festival and a key player in efforts to protect the environment, through its strong commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its events-based activities.

In October 2013, the Monte-Carlo Bay adopted an official sustainable development policy. On 23 April 2014, Société des Bains de Mer’s flagship and “Green” pilot establishment, the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, became one of the first hotels in the Principality of Monaco to be awarded “Green Globe” environmental certification. It also signed up to the National Pact for the Energy Transition at the Grimaldi Forum, on 23 March 2018.

• Selective sorting (newspapers, batteries, etc.)
• Raising awareness about energy and water use, with communication materials published on “Shiro Alga Carta” seaweed-based paper in the form of the venue’s mascot, a little green seahorse found in every room !
