In 2024, Séries Mania obtained ISO 20121 certification, marking an important step in its commitment to a responsible event. As part of this process, the Séries Mania team has put in place an action plan based on 3 priorities :
Priority 1:
An event for all : putting accessibility and inclusion at the heart of the project
Meeting people and sharing is the DNA of our activities, our values and our commitment to our community. We are committed to organising events that are inclusive, non-discriminatory and accessible to all.
→ ACTIONS :
- 100% free festival
- Extensive educational and cultural action plan: 4,164 young people took part in the educational action programme over the 2023-2024 school season in their establishments, and we count over 10,000 admissions to the educational programme offered during the festival in 2024.
- Tailor-made initiatives with employment agencies (local missions, civic services, etc.), health institutions (Lille CHRU), local social action agencies, etc.
- Accessible screenings for people with sensory disabilities (audio description and adapted subtitles), silent hours at the Village Festival by Crédit Mutuel for people sensitive to noise and light.
- This year, SERIES MANIA will be visiting audiences in 6 towns in the region with its travelling bus.
- Launch by SERIES MANIA INSTITUTE of TREMPLIN training for 20 young people on the road to integration.
Priority 2:
Mastering the environmental impact of our activities
Recognising the impact of our activities and our responsibility to the planet, we carried out our first carbon footprint assessment in 2021, and are working to reduce our footprint and implement sustainable solutions in all areas of production.
→ ACTIONS :
- Soft and active mobility: bicycle taxis will be available for Forum participants, the festival will provide bicycle parking for festival-goers, and the festival teams will have a fleet of bicycles for their transfers. For the transportation of its guests, the festival has acquired a fleet of electric and hybrid vehicles.
- Sustainable purchasing and circular economy: plastic accreditation badges are being replaced by recycled cardboard badges, equipment hire is favoured over purchases, the number of items produced for the festival continues to fall (less printing and promotional items) and, whenever possible, we are working with local suppliers (caterers, printers, video services, etc.).
- Mastering electricity consumption and energy supply of festival sites
- With Séries Mania +, we offer tools for more responsible use of streaming and digital media
- A communication charter that can be reused for several editions.
Priority 3:
Séries Mania, a responsible employer
We are aware of the occupational hazards that accompany the nature and timing of our activities. We are committed to promoting a healthy working environment conducive to good working conditions and relationships, and to looking after the well-being of all our employees. Our aim is to guarantee the stability of our teams and increase the attractiveness of our organisation.
→ ACTIONS :
- Raising awareness among festival team members of the challenges of the ecological transition
- Supporting employees in their training programmes
- Supplying offices with renewable electricity and mastering consumables
IN 2024, SERIES MANIA TAKES ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS RESPONSIBILITY
Drafted in 2019, Séries Mania’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy will accompany the development of the project. In 2024, Séries Mania obtained ISO 20121 certification, marking an important step in its commitment to a responsible event.
Through its CSR strategy, Séries Mania is confirming its local roots and continuing to make sustainability a core value of its business.
In 2025, the Séries Mania team will continue to pursue this approach, which has been developed internally with all employees and is the subject of dialogue with external stakeholders.
By placing sustainability at the heart of its strategy, Séries Mania is anticipating tomorrow’s challenges and is committed to continuous progress.
