RESPECT FOR
THE ENVIRONMENT
In order to limit waste as much as possible, the World Dog Show uses 99% recyclable carpet. Up to 75% of waste is also recycled, sorted at the source and processed by a specialised service provider. This way it can be repurposed.
SOLAR AND
HYDRAULIC ENERGIES
All of Palexpo's energy consumption is renewable. 20% of it is supplied by Green Vital Electricity using hydraulic and solar power, which is an ecological, locally-produced energy source. What’s more, the second-largest solar power plant in Switzerland has been installed on Palexpo’s roof, with 30,000 m² of photovoltaic panels. This installation now covers the equivalent of the yearly energy use of 1,350 households.
SOFT MOBILITY
Palexpo is well served by public transport. The Geneva Airport train station is a 5-minute walk away, and bus lines 5, 23, 28, 50, 59 and 66 stop near the exhibition and congress centre. To encourage electromobility, four fast charging stations (20 kW) for electric vehicles have been installed on level -1 of the P12 parking lot.
