Paris, March 5, 2025 - Comet takes a decisive step forward in its CSR commitment: following on from ISO 20121 and its Ecovadis rating, in 2025 the company joins the B Corp community, a label recognized worldwide for its high standards in terms of social and environmental impact.
In 2023, Comet launched Teamworld, its first pro bono project dedicated to the public interest. Today, the company continues its commitment by obtaining the B Corp label, a major recognition that crowns several years of transformation.
Since its creation in 2016, Comet has had to deal with challenges linked to its development and to economic and health hazards. While ecological responsibility was a preoccupation, it could only become a priority from 2021 onwards, with the consolidation of its growth and the structuring of its CSR commitments.
"Joining the B Corp community is not an end in itself, but a decisive step. We want to demonstrate that it is possible to organize events differently, minimizing their impact while maximizing their collective utility. It's a strong signal for our sector, and we hope to inspire other players to take the same path." Romina Maillochaud, Chief of Experience at Comet.
The name is now known the world over, but what's really behind it?
B Corp focuses on 5 pillars: Governance, Community, Environment, Customers and Employees. A 360° label that encompasses most of today's concerns.
Governance - B Corp evaluates the company's transparency, ethics and organization, including employee commitment and financial control.
Community - Economic and social impact is analyzed through supplier policies, local commitment and integration initiatives.
Environment - Water, waste and energy management, as well as the impact on biodiversity, are all taken into account, depending on the business sector.
Customers - B Corp recognizes companies that manage their customers responsibly and whose products have a positive impact on health.
Employees - Employee well-being is assessed in terms of satisfaction, health, financial security and career prospects.
Comet has set up a number of structuring initiatives that embody its vision of a more responsible event industry:
Reduced environmental footprint
✔ Eco-responsible decoration with recycled and vintage furniture.
✔ Elimination of single-use plastic: +300,000 bottles saved.
✔ Furniture made in Europe, including some references in France.
✔ Strategically located venues to encourage public transport.
Social & societal impact
✔ Comet Teamworld program: free meeting rooms for associations.
✔ Funding for higher education via one-off assignments.
✔ Collaboration with local artists to support creation.
Wellness and a rethought experience
✔ Integrating 15 minutes of wellness into every event.
✔ Creation of spaces promoting exchange and conviviality.
Far from stopping there, Comet is pursuing its commitment with new initiatives in the pipeline. These include an even healthier, more local food offering, which will be unveiled shortly.
