ECORESPONSIBILITY

 

 

 

Eco-responsibility is at the core of our DNA since we started our project in 2008

GESI CHARTER: Already 13 commitments out of 15 have been met after just 1 year

Eco-responsibility is at the core of our DNA since we started our project in 2008. In 2017, we signed the Charter of major international sporting events in France (GESI). As a signatory, we are committed to meet 15 objectives on a 3 years period. As of our first year, we have already met 13 of them. This achievement was made possible by our 10 years of experience in the organization of eco-responsible events.

--> 15 markers of our eco-responsibility commitment

Since 2017, we have been committed to meet the 15 objectives stated in the GESI Charter in order to provide a practical answer to the ambitious eco-responsibility projects initiated by the French Ministère de la Ville, de la Jeunesse et des Sports (Ministry of Urban Affairs, Youth and Sports) and WWF:

  • 50% minimum of sustainable food => UNMET

  • 80% minimum of transport in active mobility (public transports or carpool) => MET

  • 80% of purchases including corporate social responsibility selection criterion => UNMET

  • 25% of waste reduction and 60% of  re-used, recycled or recovered waste => MET

  • 100% of natural sites respected => MET

  • 100% of energy and water consumption controlled and optimized => MET

  • 1 eco-responsible innovation (at least) tested during an event => MET

  • 1 or several ambassadors of eco-responsibility among the athletes of the event or the discipline => MET

  • 100% of public sites accessible to people with disabilities => MET

  • 100% of sporting events including an action to facilitate accessibility to all => MET

  • 100% of valued volunteering action => MET

  • 1commitment (at least) to a sustainable cause => MET

  • 1 action (at least) to encourage gender parity in management positions => MET

  • 1 identified sustainable development adviser in the organization => MET
  • 1 action or 1 program (at least) to raise awareness on sustainable development => MET

--> An eco-responsible policy organized around six pillars

Originally a true innovation, our EcoTrail event in Paris is now a model to many other sport organizations. In order to optimize our development, we defined 6 axes to help us better implement practical actions.

  1. Mobility
  2. Water, waste and energy
  3. Health and solidarity
  4. Cultural and natural heritage
  5. Prevention and awareness-raising
  6. Catering

To ensure the evolution and the success of our eco-responsible actions, we also rely on the expertise of our partners, such as the WWF.
