NANDO Impact: at Il Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale
Il Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale is Italy’s leading event dedicated to corporate social responsibility and innovative strategies for sustainable development. Now in its 12th edition in Milan, the Fair brings together companies, institutions, and professionals committed to sustainability and social innovation, providing a hub for sharing best practices, digital tools, and practical solutions.
This year, NANDO participated once again, bringing not just technology but also concrete actions for sustainability. Thanks to NANDO.App, we monitored waste production in real time throughout the event, demonstrating the role of technology in sustainable management of corporate gatherings.
The Challenge: The Complexity of Waste Monitoring at Events
Large-scale events such as fairs, conferences, and workshops present specific challenges in waste management:
-
Ineffective waste flow monitoring: Without real-time data, it’s difficult to know which areas generate the most waste or which bins need immediate emptying.
-
Risk of waste and contamination: Improperly separated waste increases landfill volumes and reduces recycling quality.
-
Significant environmental impact: High-attendance events can produce considerable CO₂ emissions if waste is not efficiently managed.
-
Limited participant engagement: Without transparent digital tools, it is hard to raise awareness among visitors and stakeholders about sustainable practices.
Effective waste monitoring and management is not only an operational necessity—it is a crucial step to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainable behaviors, especially in high-visibility contexts like corporate fairs and events.
The Solution: NANDO.App Driving Sustainability
During the three days of the 12th Il Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale, NANDO.App was used to collect and analyze real-time data on waste production. The app enabled the team to:
-
Track the total weight of waste generated: 26 kg
-
Monitor the percentage of waste sent for recycling: 72%
-
Estimate CO₂ emissions produced: 9.5 kg
-
Visualize data in real time via NANDO.Dashboard, allowing organizers to act immediately and optimize waste collection
Beyond operational data, NANDO.App helped raise awareness among participants, actively engaging exhibitors and visitors in sustainable practices.
Tangible Results: Data, Transparency, and Certification
The use of NANDO.App delivered measurable outcomes:
-
72% of waste properly sent for recycling, reducing waste and improving the event’s environmental impact
-
Real-time monitoring and detailed reporting, essential tools for operational optimization and communicating results
-
Contribution to the ISO 20121 certification of Il Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale, demonstrating the importance of digital monitoring in sustainable event management
These results confirm that AI technology can make events more efficient, sustainable, and participatory.
Towards a Greener Future: Sustainability as a Shared Journey
The case of Il Salone della CSR e dell’Innovazione Sociale demonstrates that monitoring waste with smart tools like NANDO.App is not just an operational advantage—it’s an opportunity to create real positive impact on the environment. By engaging participants, exhibitors, and organizers, every event can become a tangible step towards sustainability.
Together, let’s make sustainability the true focus of every event.
