The Salon Des Solidarités received in 2010 the label « Les Coups de Cœur » from the Nicolas Hulot Fondation. The Nicolas Hulot Fondation was particularly sensitive to the efforts of the organizers who seek to reduce their environmental impact from the very beginning stage of the event. As such, it has been asked to candidates of the "Coup de Coeur" (understood as a "crush") to provide the stock of their environmental diagnosis made ​​from the ADERE indicator (Auto Environmental Diagnosis for Chief of Events).
