Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is central to SIAL Paris’ mission, and it influences every aspect of SIAL’s actions, from SIAL Talks and competitions to the experiences at the show. SIAL’s goal is to address future environmental and food challenges with unwavering determination.
Transparency is fundamental to SIAL’s approach, along with the positive impact they aim to create on their ecosystems. SIAL Paris is introducing two new initiatives: the “SIAL For Change” Award and the “SIAL SUMMITS.”
