A sustainable meeting
Making Décastar a committed event was born of a desire and a necessity: to demonstrate that it is possible to combine sporting events and eco-responsibility!
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
- Shift our food offering towards more sustainable, local produce
Organic food for athletes
Short supply chains with products from New Aquitaine
Choice of traditional or vegetarian meals for volunteers and foodtrucks for spectators

A “Green Team” has been set up to raise public awareness and gather public perceptions of the effectiveness of our actions. In addition to this perception, it also collects comments and suggestions, which is essential in our continuous improvement approach. It also carries out a travel survey, which is then used to draw up a carbon footprint for travel.
