Auction for good

 

A responsible action that meets environmental and social challenges
 

Driven by the love of art and a passion for corporate history, the Ader E&P team supports professionals by enhancing the value of their furniture assets through auction. In addition to generating exceptional income for its selling clients, Ader E&P's approach supports the circular economy by encouraging the rediscovery and reuse of corporate furniture rather than its destruction. Furniture that is not selected for auction is sorted or recycled, always with the aim of finding a new use for it.





Selling at auction : a second life for the movable assets of compagnies, hotels and institutions



 


Aware of environmental and societal issues, the ader E&P team is taking a responsible approach to its auction business. A mission-driven company since march 2024, the company promotes a sustainable way of life and supports the circular economy.​​​​​​

 

The key points : 
 

  • Auctions as a new way of consuming : the second-hand market is both more affordable for the end-buyer, and more responsible as it enables the re-use of items no longer used by companies.
  • Auctions as a tool for the valorization of company's furnitures : auctioning dormant assets enables companies to generate exceptional income, while giving buyers access to quality furniture.


 


Movement for a circular and social economy






Ader E&P also contributes to the financing of social, environmental and artistic projects by encouraging its customers and collaborators to donate all or part of the auction's outcome to associations.
 

The key points : 
 

  • Auctions as a means of raising funds for social and environmental associations
  • Auctions as a tool for companies to become activists in the circular economy, by assigning the sales' outcome to specific projects in the general interest.
