We are a Towards Zero Impact event
Toward Zero Impact is an initiative powered by Piscina Barcelona to reduce waste, save resources and boost the event’s sustainability.
That’s why we strive to calculate and offset our GHG emissions, separate waste and promote energy efficiency.

What do we do to achieve the highest sustainability?
Reusing water
The filling of the pools and spas will be carried out with water provided by the Centre Esportiu Municipal Piscines Bernat Picornell. Once the event has concluded, the water will be returned to the same facility, ensuring full compliance at all times with the regulations in force regarding safety, hygiene and sustainability.
We’re planting 2,000 trees
Our commitment to sustainability is real. That’s why this year we’re collaborating with Tree Nation and we’re planting 2,000 trees generating environmental and social impacts in 7 different world regions, including gender equality, conservation, reforestation...
We reuse
All the communes areas will be desgigned from reused material. As well, at the end of the event, all the material used in these spaces are returned to the supplier so that it can be used, if possible, for other purposes as a third life cycle.
Ensuring carbon neutrality
Offsetting the GHG emissions associated with the event's organisation and the participation of all speakers (including their travel and time spent in Barcelona) by funding high quality carbon offset projects.
Circular economy
Most of the furniture (stands, furniture press-corner, easels) were re-used from previous events
Fight food waster
Any food surplus is picked up by an NGO at the end of each day, and is distributed to community kitchens.
