At PROTO Invention Factory, we value, in addition to curiosity, creativity and the courage to invent, the will to change and discover the world around us and to understand the impact of our activities on nature. That is why we work <\/span>PROTO is<\/span> actively working to reduce its environmental footprint in order to be an example and pioneer for other similar companies.<\/span> <\/p>\n

PROTO Invention Factory is an environmentally friendly choice for organizing your event, as we provide a large part of the services necessary for organizing the event, such as catering, inventory and stage construction, on-site. PROTO catering does not use disposable tableware. Together, these principles help reduce the environmental impact of transportation, resource use and waste, and significantly reduce the footprint of an event organized at PROTO. PROTO Invention Factory has the Green Key environmental label. <\/p>\n

PROTO environmental principles:<\/span><\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. At PROTO Invention Factory, Estonia is always preferred whenever possible! We prefer local materials, services and partners. Our exhibits are made locally in Estonia to the greatest extent possible, in order to make the journey from idea to implementation as short as possible and to save resources. We use natural materials, we prefer recycling whenever possible and we are always happy to give someone else’s old material a new life. We want tourists to get the same feeling from us \u2013 Estonia is a small, lovely, clean, sustainable country where people care about the environment around them.

<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
2. At the PROTO Invention Factory, both students and families visiting the exhibition can take part in various workshops dedicated to promoting sustainability. Environmental sustainability topics are also integrated into various PROTO programs.
<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n
3. PROTO catering follows a simple principle \u2013 we waste and pollute as little as possible! In other words, the food in our caf\u00e9 and at events is always varied and healthy, and vegetarians can also find dishes to their liking on the menu. In addition, there is no place in the PROTO Invention Factory for cleaning products containing chemicals and raw materials containing air pollutants, fertilizers or pesticides.

<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4. PROTO uses heating and electricity, water and other resources as economically as possible, we constantly monitor consumption and find new ways to optimize costs.
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n

5.<\/span> We collect waste by type throughout<\/span> PROTO<\/span>to ensure efficient waste management and reduce environmental impact. We also work with local waste management companies to ensure that all waste reaches the appropriate recycling and processing facilities. <\/span><\/p>\n

6.“><\/span>“><\/span> We have prepared recommendations for organizing sustainable events<\/strong><\/a> for events organized at PROTO, based on which we plan our program and which we also share with other organizers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

7. PROTO values \u200b\u200bresponsible and ethical conduct, providing a safe and inclusive work environment that respects employees\u2019 rights and ensures equal opportunities for all, regardless of age, race, gender or other characteristics. We support the promotion of sustainable tourism by promoting transparency, anti-corruption activities and environmentally sustainable management. We invest in the professional development of employees through training and awareness-raising, while encouraging involvement at all levels. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone feels valued, safe and inspired to contribute to the sustainable development of society and the environment. <\/span><\/p>\n

8.<\/span> The overall sustainable development goals will be reviewed every three years and updated if necessary.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
