A sustainable meeting
Since 2012, and under the impetus of its presidents, we have placed this issue at the heart of our action, by joining forces with the CNOSF and carrying its label “Développement Durable, le sport s’engage”. In 2023, we were awarded the “silver” label.
In 2021, we took a further step forward and strengthened our approach by signing up to the “15 eco-responsible commitments for sports event organizers” charter, a joint initiative of the French Ministry of Sports and WWF France, aligned with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
In 2024, we join the World Athletics certification program, “Athletics for a Better World”.
A fully-fledged SD sector is in charge of our commitments, sharing and coordinating them, and ensuring that they are followed up and disseminated to all our stakeholders.
We are committed to working collectively with our various partners, athletes and spectators through an SD action plan, the partner’s eco-responsible charter and the volunteer’s eco-guide.
In 2023, this commitment has resulted in a number of actions:
Blank
