The Monte-Carlo Television Festival is environmentally conscious and acutely aware of the new ecological challenges facing the planet. That’s why it has decided to make an active commitment designed to promote sustainable development through a series of concrete actions.
The initiative is a tribute to the event’s creator, Prince Rainier III, who in 1966 declared that one of television’s roles was to highlight damage to the oceans and certain species of wildlife.
For many years, the Festival has worked to raise television viewers’ awareness about environmental issues, through a special prize created at the behest of the Sovereign Prince, awarded to the documentary that deals with this issue most effectively.
This latest commitment will bring together the organising team, service providers, partners, guests and everyone involved with the Festival, as part of a collective effort based around a range of innovative action.
This initiative is naturally inspired by the sterling work done over many years by the Festival’s Honorary President, H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco, who is known around the world as one of the leading defenders of the environmental cause.
The organisation Monaco Mediax, in charge of the Festival, joined the Principality's National Energy Transition Pact on November 14, 2019, thus committing itself alongside the Principality to reduce its environmental impact.
For several years, British Airways has been implementing a number of environmentally conscious actions, particularly with regard to the impact of air transport. It is a sector that does the most to reduce its footprint.

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.
As such, it proposes a range of concrete actions related directly to the Festival:
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.
