Agreement Signing:
Collaboration and PCAV
On April 23, 2024, two agreements were signed between the Jalisco Secretariat of Environment and Territorial Development and Expo Guadalajara:
The Collaboration Agreement aims to jointly establish criteria that certify an event meets sustainability standards. SEMADET, after a review, will grant recognition to events held at the venue that meet these criteria.
In addition, the Voluntary Environmental Compliance Program, “Programa de Cumplimiento Ambiental Voluntario” (PCAV) was signed, and it aims to fulfill legal and environmental obligations, with the commitment to reduce environmental impact.
