A sustainable meeting
The decision to make the Décastar a socially conscious event stemmed from both a desire and a need: to demonstrate that it is possible to combine sporting events with environmental responsibility !
Our Eco-Friendly Approach
Under the leadership of our presidents, we have placed our efforts at the heart of this issue and forged a series of partnerships:
In 2012, with the French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) and its “Sustainable Development: Sports Takes Action” initiative
In 2021, with the Ministry of Sports by signing on to the “Charter of 15 Eco-Responsible Commitments”
In 2024, with World Athletics and its standard, “Athletics for a Better World.”
We are also committed to working collectively with all of our institutional and private partners, athletes, volunteers, and spectators.
