aris has now taken up the baton
from Tokyo, and the Olympic and
Paralympic flag Handover Ceremonies left
us with some truly outstanding memories,
providing some of the key images from 2021.
A television audience of 600 million people
turned their attention to Paris and Trocadéro,
where this historic moment was celebrated
by spectators and Olympic and Paralympic
athletes united within Team France.
1 - INTRODUCTION
© Paris 2024/Rudy Waks
We are all now looking ahead to 26 July 2024,
to the first Opening Ceremony of the Game to
be staged outside the confines of a stadium,
at the heart of the city, in front of more than
600,000 spectators, with extensive areas that
will be free to access. Through this innovative
concept for a ceremony along the River
Seine, we are delivering on our ambition
to open up the Games as widely as possible,
to bring them to unexpected places, heading
out to meet people, and to rethink each key
milestone and hallmark from the Games in
order to share the Olympic and Paralympic
experience with as many people as possible.
This announcement relating to the
Opening Ceremony brought 2021 to
a close, with the past year marked
by an acceleration of the operational
planning for the Paris 2024 Games.
In each area, we continue to be guided by the
core commitments that we have embraced
from the outset: organising Games that are
fit for a new era, Games that are responsible,
sustainable, open to all and aligned with
the challenges facing our society. To achieve
this, we can count on the commitment and
dedication shown by all of the stakeholders
who share these ambitions: the 9 private
partners who joined us in 2021, alongside the
13 Global Partners and 5 Domestic Partners
already on board, the sporting movement in
France and around the world, and particularly
the International Olympic Committee (IOC),
the International Paralympic Committee
(IPC), the French National Olympic and
Sports Committee (CNOSF) and the French
Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF),
the Federations and the athletes, the French
public sector stakeholders – the City of Paris,
the French State, the Île-de-France Region,
the Seine–Saint-Denis Department, Métropole
du Grand Paris, The City of Marseille, as well
as all of the host communities and more
than 2,300 local and regional authorities
awarded the Terre de Jeux 2024 label –

PRESIDENT
not to mention all the members of our
Executive Board, leading figures, non-profits
and businesses who are enabling Paris 2024
to benefit from their expertise, advice and
creativity. I would like to thank each and
every one of them for their dedication
and their work on this project each day.
1 - INTRODUCTION
Thanks to the commitment shown by
SOLIDEO and all of the construction project
managers, the delivery of the Olympic and
Paralympic facilities is moving forward
as planned, and we are on schedule.
The Grand Palais Éphémère was delivered
in May 2021, while the foundation stones
were laid during the autumn for the Aquatics
Centre, the Olympic and Paralympic Village
and the Porte de la Chapelle Arena.
While the carbon footprint of the
Paris 2024 Games will be half that of previous
Games, thanks to a concept based on existing
or temporary sports facilities for 95% of the
cases, we wanted to go even further. Our
climate strategy, adopted in March 2021
by the Executive Board, plans to deploy
innovative tools with a view to reducing
the CO2 emissions linked to the organising
of the Games and offsetting even more
emissions than those generated by the event.
The Paris 2024 Games legacy will also
involve developing the position of sport
in our day-to-day lives, in response to
challenges relating to health, wellbeing and
inclusion. Two programmes to promote
active schools were ramped up in 2021:
the Olympic and Paralympic Week, held
for the sixth time, made it possible to raise
awareness among 750,000 students across
France, alongside the initiative promoting
30 minutes of daily exercise and sport at
primary school. This programme, developed
as part of an initiative led by Paris 2024
and supported by the French Ministry of
National Education, Youth and Sport, will
be extended to cover all primary schools
by 2024. Alongside this, our collaboration
with the French National Sports Agency
(ANS) and the National Agency for Territorial
Cohesion (ANCT) supports the development
of participation in sport in territories. Lastly,
since it was launched, the Endowment Fund
has promoted and supported more than
300 projects using sport as a social impact
tool, reaching 700,000 beneficiaries.
Club Paris 2024 now has over
300,000 members. Some of them had
an opportunity to compete against the
legendary marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge
on the Champs-Élysées as part of the
celebrations to mark 1,000 days before the
Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony. Many of them
won their entry for the Mass Participation
Marathon, while other opportunities to do
so will be offered between now and 2024.
Lastly, the core principles for the volunteers
programme and the Torch Relay were
adopted by the Executive Board, and we
will be able to work on their deployment.
Building on the considerable progress
from 2021, 2022 will enable people across
France to look ahead to the celebrations that
await them in 2024, thanks to the unveiling
of the mascots, the sports schedule, the
key stages for ticketing and the volunteer
recruitment programme.

hat emotions did you
feel during the Handover
Ceremonies between Tokyo and
Paris, and how did they symbolise the
ambition for the Paris 2024 Games?
These Handover Ceremonies, during which
I received the Olympic and Paralympic flags
from the International Olympic Committee
President, will be truly unforgettable for
me. A moment of joy and an incredible
honour. When I held them in my hands,
I felt the responsibility to ensure that
this global sporting event meets all the
various expectations. So yes, Paris will be
ready to embrace and promote the values
of Olympism and make these Olympic
and Paralympic Games an outstanding
popular celebration, combining incredible
achievements with a great atmosphere.
While respecting our planet, the Paris Games
in 2024 will celebrate sport in all its
diversity and will focus on transforming
our differences into strengths.
How is the innovative choice to
stage the Opening Ceremony on
the River Seine important?
For the first time ever, the ceremony will
move outside the confines of a stadium
and be staged in the heart of Paris. I am
particularly proud of this ambitious project,
which, thanks to the exceptional collective
efforts of the various partners, will transform
the Opening Ceremony into an event that is
open to everyone, making it possible to share
the magic of this major event as widely as
possible. The attention of the world will focus
on the River Seine, where it will once again
be possible to swim, as the most advanced
symbol of all the progress made in the past
few years in Paris to give nature its rightful
place in the city.

These Olympics were the Games of hope,
solidarity and peace. This is also the message
that was shared by Paris 2024 during the
handover ceremony. This ceremony offered a
magnificent taster of what the Games will be
like when they are held in less than three years’
time, bringing together the worlds of sport,
culture and heritage. It would be difficult to
mention just a few images that stayed with
me, but I would say: the live celebrations from
Trocadéro, the final notes of La Marseillaise,
the French national anthem, performed
by the astronaut Thomas Pesquet, and the
BMX ride over the rooftops of Paris, set against
a backdrop of the city’s iconic monuments.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games were a historic
moment, and the athletes brought a magnificent
Olympic spirit to these Games. We were only
able to make the first deferred Olympic Games
a reality thanks to the unanimous support of

We all needed to make unprecedented efforts

Whether it was Betty Moutoumalaya’s unique

The highlight of Paris 2024’s achievements
in 2021 was definitely the announcement that
the Opening Ceremony of the Games will be
organised along the Seine. This is perfectly in line
with Paris 2024’s vision to open up the Games
to the people. To this, we must add the Games’
climate strategy, which commits to making
the world’s first climate-positive Olympic and
Paralympic Games by reducing as much as
possible the Games’ CO2 emissions, in line
with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change,
compensating more than their residual emissions
and using the Games’ influence to develop
long-term carbon compensation projects.

CELEBRATING
SPORT,
FROM TOKYO
TO PARIS
The Tokyo 2020 Games were an opportunity for Paris 2024
to continue building on its ambition to share the Games experience
as widely as possible, bringing the sports, athletes and celebrations
closer to the public. Culminating in the Handover Ceremonies.
13
During the Tokyo 2020 Games,
the French National Olympic and Sports
Committee (CNOSF), the French Paralympic
and Sports Committee (CPSF), the Games
host communities and Paris 2024 rolled out
the Live des Jeux – Live from the Games –
programme throughout France. Thanks to
this nationwide initiative, all supporters,
fans of sport and Team France were able to
join together and support the athletes. This
remote support was even more important as
the event was held without spectators for the
first time in its history. The most iconic Live
des Jeux event was of course organised in
the host city. In Trocadéro Gardens, looking
out onto the Eiffel Tower, it was the stage for
the Handover Ceremonies between Tokyo
and Paris for the Olympic Games then the
Paralympic Games. The other communities
that will be welcoming the Games in 2024
also got involved: Paris, Versailles, Colombes,
Nanterre, Paris-Ouest La Défense,
the Seine-Saint-Denis Department,
Saint-Denis, La Courneuve, Guyancourt,

events held in France during the Tokyo 2020
Olympic and Paralympic Games.
In addition to showing the events on giant
screens with live content from France
Télévisions, these Live des Jeux events
brought together members of the public
to discover the Olympic and Paralympic
disciplines, various sports and cultural
activities and events, and a range of
activation experiences offered by Paris 2024
partners, including La Française des Jeux,
Bridgestone and EDF in particular, as well
as opportunities to meet medal-winning
athletes following their return from Tokyo.
In addition to the sites organised by
the various host communities, more
than 350 Terre de Jeux municipalities
set up fan zones for celebrations
and broadcasts throughout France,
enabling large numbers of people to
share in the Tokyo Games experience.

Paris 2024/Jeremy Josselin
Summer 2021 was a key period for
Paris 2024, with the highlights including
the Handover Ceremonies between Tokyo
and Paris: on 8 August, during the closing
ceremony for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games,
then on 5 September, during the closing
ceremony for the Paralympic Games.
These sequences left a lasting impression,
thanks first of all to their symbolic impact:
Paris officially became the host city for the
next Games when Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo
received the flag featuring the Olympic rings
from Tokyo’s Governor, followed a few weeks
later by the flag with the Paralympic agitos.
Tokyo 2020 was an exceptional
experience, with an incredibly united
Team France, despite the fact that we
were not able to have our loved ones
with us. When we returned home,
we were able to see first-hand the
country’s strong levels of support
thanks to the wonderful atmosphere
at Trocadéro. The spectators
shared their emotions with us and
we were really touched by these
unique moments. I look forward to
showing the magic of the Olympics
with our very own French touch to
the whole world during Paris 2024.
This will be simply magical!

Following on from the formal handover
of the flags, the Organising Committee
offered two artistic segments combining
a daring approach and freedom, based
around the same model: three sequences
orchestrated around two films, including
the Marseillaise national anthem, as well
as a live celebration from the Live des Jeux
venue at Trocadéro, in the presence of French
athletes and spectators. Paris 2024 called
on a number of French artists to support it:
Woodkid to create the music and Valentin
Petit to direct the film for the Olympic
sequence, entitled “Ride over the rooftops
of Paris”, celebrating the encounter
between the city, sport and heritage;
Sadeck Berrabah to create the mesmerising
choreography for the Paralympic
sequence, paying tribute to the para
athletes through the power of the human
body; and Pone to deliver an exceptional
performance, with a music mix composed
using just the movement of his eyes.
Around 21,000 people took part in the
Olympic (13,000) and Paralympic (8,000)
sequences at Trocadéro, sharing their
enthusiasm with billions of television viewers
and providing a triumphant welcome for
the athletes on their return from Tokyo.
More widely, this ceremony generated
strong interest and 80% of people in France
enjoyed these celebrations, according
to an Ifop survey for Paris 2024. As many
as 86% of them enjoyed the Paralympic
handover. Thanks to these two ceremonies,
Paris 2024 welcomed in a new phase in
the history of the Games, while offering
a taster of the celebrations that the
world will be able to discover in 2024.

OBSERVATION IN TOKYO
Working during the Games, in both Paris
and Tokyo, on preparations for the Handover
Ceremonies and various media operations
linked to this changeover, Paris 2024 also
took part in the Observer Programme.
Due to the health constraints and the
absence of spectators, the Parisian
delegation focused on the sectors and stakes
that had been least affected: the sports, the
competition venues, the on-site operations,
the technology, the organisation of transport
systems and security arrangements,

TEAM FRANCE UNITED
AROUND ONE DEDICATED EMBLEM
In Tokyo, for the first time in the
history of French sport, the Olympic
and Paralympic athletes were brought
together within a united Team France.
This united team, announced 100 days
before the Tokyo Games in April 2021,
confirmed the ambition of French sport –
led by the CNOSF, CPSF and Paris 2024 –
to successfully meet its biggest possible
challenge: staging the Games in France in
2024. Olympians and Paralympians, athletes
from winter and summer sports, young
talents or legends, they are all part of the
same shared history and driven by the
same momentum looking ahead to 2024.
two athletes – one man and one woman –
were appointed to lead the French delegation
during the opening ceremonies. A new
digital platform, www.‌equipedefrance.‌com,
was also launched. With fact sheets on
over 1,000 athletes, it has attracted large
numbers of visitors. The digital arrangements
were further enhanced with several
initiatives to support the French athletes
looking ahead to the Games: a dedicated
#AllezlesBleus account on WhatsApp, as
well as a Team France Instagram filter
published on Paris 2024’s account.
As the first illustration of this unity, the
flag-bearers were named at the same

2.1 - CELEBRATING SPORT, FROM TOKYO TO PARIS
Unveiled in October 2021, 100 days before the
Beijing 2022 Winter Games, the new visual
identity for this Team France, around a shared
emblem, highlighted this united approach.
As the holder of the Team France
(Équipe de France) brand for the entire
Olympiad, Paris 2024 was actively involved
in designing this identity, working closely
with the French National Olympic and
Sports Committee (CNOSF) and the French
Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF).
It symbolises the athletes’ determination,
fighting spirit and obsession with
securing victory, from Beijing through to
2024. This mindset can be summed up
with one tagline – la victoire en face –
which was the inspiration behind the
new emblem for this Team France.
To create it, Paris 2024 adopted a fresh
approach for the symbols of Team France and
particularly the Gallic cockerel. For the first
time, it is shown front on, with a conquering
attitude and its beak forming a V for victory.
The result has proven popular with the
public, as 79% of the French people surveyed
said that they like this emblem – rising to
80% among under 35s – according to a
survey conducted by Harris Interactive.
The first outfit featuring this emblem was
presented during a fashion show alongside
the unveiling of the visual identity at the
Le Coq Sportif plant in Romilly-sur-Seine.
As an Official Partner of the Paris 2024
Games, the French brand officially
became Team France’s apparel supplier on
1 October 2021. Le Coq Sportif will supply
the performance apparel, in addition
to the clothing worn by Team France in
the Olympic and Paralympic Village and
during the official ceremonies and medal
ceremonies, as well as when they are
travelling. Its partnership with Paris 2024
also includes clothing for the Organising
Committee and the various officials.

What were the standout moments from
the Handover Ceremonies between
Tokyo and Paris, and the welcome that
the athletes received on their return?
What do they promise for Paris 2024?
The groundbreaking celebrations that we were
able to experience at the heart of Paris, at
Trocadéro, highlighted the levels of interest in the
Paralympic athletes and para sports across France,
which sends a strong message! This handover was
a celebration with the public, a shared celebration
around our Paralympic athletes, and this reminded
us that France really is a nation of sport and a
nation that is close to its athletes, whichever sport
they may be involved in. But looking beyond this
celebration, one of my strongest memories will be
the symbolism of this flag handover: welcoming
the Paralympic Games to France means welcoming
and celebrating together a better level of inclusion
and greater diversity. I have no doubt whatsoever
that the ceremonies for the Paralympic Games,
in 2024, will leave an unprecedented
immaterial legacy in everyone’s minds.

a great honour and a great responsibility to
welcome the whole world during this event.
The Live des Jeux events organised during
the Tokyo Games, particularly at Trocadéro,
highlighted the strong levels of support among
our fellow citizens to celebrate the athletes.
This is promising for 2024, and there is a real

Staging the Paris 2024 Games is an opportunity to
transform the landscape and set new standards,
and 2021 ushered the French team into a new
era. This Team France, which we wanted to be
united, is about more than just a common brand
identity or emblem: it is a team that will be even
more successful, a strong message for fairness,
embodying a new level of recognition, a paradigm
shift. Alongside Paris 2024, we will continue building
on the work accomplished around Team France,
while also supporting sport for all, because the
stakes involved with the success of the Games
and the Legacy in particular are collective.

There is a necessary continuity between the Olympic
Games and the Paralympic Games. That is why we have
created a single, united Team France, bringing together both
Olympic and Paralympic athletes from the Summer and
Winter Games… This is set out through this joint emblem
and this French cockerel, with its winning attitude, a source
of inspiration for the French athletes, as well as through
shared promotional and communication actions, including
a dedicated website for this Team France and the joint
presentation of the flag-bearers for the Tokyo and
Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our ethos is
built around the 2024 Games engaging with all sports
federations, whether they are Olympic or not, and their
16 million members, 3.5 million volunteers and 160,000 clubs.
We will be working with Paris 2024 to bring them on board
around the various engagement initiatives and celebrations,
from the Torch Relay to volunteering during the Games
and even tickets for the various events. But our greatest
source of pride is bringing our athletes and technical teams
closer together, especially around performance. By uniting
all of these athletes, we are building a real community for
the years to come, and that's a magnificent legacy!.

DELIVERING THE
WORLD’S BIGGEST
SPORTING EVENT WITH
A RESPONSIBLE AND
INCLUSIVE APPROACH
Responsibility and positive impacts are central to the organisation
of the Games, and Paris 2024, with the support of the project's
stakeholders, is making concrete progress with its commitments
when delivering the main operations, such as infrastructures.
22
PARIS 2024
ORGANISING
WHILE DRIVING
THE ENVIRONMENTAL
TRANSFORMATION
OF THE GAMES
Paris 2024 made a commitment, along
with its entire ecosystem, to deliver Games
that are focused on sound stewardship and
environmental responsibility. This ambition
extends beyond simply controlling and
reducing all of our impacts on the climate
and the environment: it will pave the way
for a new era, a new way of organising
major events, based on more sustainable
standards. Thanks in particular to their
concept, the Paris 2024 Games will
halve the carbon footprint from the last
complete Games that were celebrated
in London in 2012. For the first time in
the history of the Games, this ambition
is incorporated from the project’s design
through to its delivery and beyond, thanks
to a range of steering tools making it
possible to incorporate carbon aspects
into decisions, which will be able to be
used for other events as well. Alongside
this, the Organising Committee has
developed an ambitious offset strategy.
The Report on Legacy and Sustainability
published in August 2021 presents the
methodology used and the level of progress
achieved with the implementation of the
commitments for Paris 2024 in various areas,
including the climate, biodiversity, circular
economy and responsible procurement. A
few weeks later, the Paris 2024 Executive
Board approved the creation of the Games
Environmental Transformation Committee,
which will support the environmental
strategy through its recommendations and
its operational follow-up and monitoring.
Chaired by Gilles Boeuf, it is made up of
nine experts, joined by representatives
from the City of Paris, the Ministry of Sport,
the Inter-ministerial Delegation for the
Olympic and Paralympic Games (DIJOP),
the Île-de-France Region, the Seine-SaintDenis Department, Métropole du Grand
Paris, the National Olympic and Paralympic
Committees, and the French Agency for
Ecological Transition (ADEME), as well
as a representative from the Paris 2024
Athletes’ Commission. The Committee
will meet three times a year to share its
recommendations and progress prior to the
meeting of the Paris 2024 Executive Board.

This approach makes it possible to deploy
the Paris 2024 Legacy and Sustainability
Strategy over the entire procurement
process and extend it beyond the Games
by assessing the environmental, social

made. This strategy is guided by three
fundamental principles: consideration
of the post-Games period, inclusive
sourcing accessible to everyone, and a
multiplier effect thanks to the commitment
shown by the Paris 2024 ecosystem.

↓ CARBON STRATEGY: HALVING
CARBON EMISSIONS AND SETTING
UP OFFSETS TO EXCEED EMISSIONS
based on existing or

In terms of the legacy and sustainability
pillar, the finalisation and implementation of
the carbon strategy was the main objective
set as part of the core strategies for 2021.
On 16 March 2021, the Paris 2024 Executive
Board approved the Organising Committee’s
climate strategy. This strategy is built around
three pillars: reducing emissions, providing
widespread support for climate-positive
projects (carbon storage or avoidance) and
mobilising support in order to increase the
impact of the actions taken by Paris 2024.
The concept for the Paris 2024 Games is
based on existing or temporary sports
facilities for 95% of its needs, making it
possible to avoid a significant level of
construction-related emissions and making
a major contribution towards the target
to halve carbon emissions compared with
previous Games. Paris 2024 is also deploying
solutions to effectively control and reduce
its emissions across all of its activities:
2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS › 2.2 - DELIVERING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT WITH A RESPONSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE APPROACH
adopting low-carbon materials for the
permanent and temporary buildings, using
renewable electricity to supply the Games
venues, promoting environmentally-friendly
mobility and public transport to access the
venues, and setting up responsible food and
beverage services. In terms of permanent
facilities, SOLIDEO has adopted a strategy
for environmental excellence with a
view to creating tomorrow’s city based on
more sustainable, inclusive and accessible
foundations. This strategy is set out around
three main goals: achieving carbon neutrality
by 2050, ensuring urban comfort for the 2050
climate and making a positive contribution
to biodiversity through the urban project.
24
PARIS 2024
THE AAROM METHOD:
ANTICIPATE
Paris 2024 has aligned its operations
with the Paris Agreement requirements
since 2015.
AVOID
Paris 2024 is avoiding emissions to
the maximum possible extent by
adopting a frugal approach that
involves using existing or temporary
infrastructure for 95% of its needs.
REDUCE
By halving emissions, aiming to cap them
at 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent,
Paris 2024 has already dramatically reduced
the climate impact of the Games.
OFFSET
More than 100% of emissions generated
by the Games will be offset, resulting in
a positive impact on the climate.
INNOVATIVE STEERING
TOOLS AND METHOD
To reduce carbon emissions for the Games,
Paris 2024 is innovating by adopting a specific
method – Anticipate, Avoid, Reduce, Offset
and Mobilise – and a carbon impact tracking
tool created for this occasion. Thanks to
this tool, the emissions forecasts for the
Games were re-estimated in 2021: overall,
they are in line with the target initially
set. Certain opportunities for reductions
were identified, primarily in four key areas
(spectator transport to and from France,
permanent constructions, temporary
infrastructures and technology), and will be
addressed specifically in 2022. Paris 2024
will continue to improve this estimation
tool, which will be shared more widely
as part of its legacy commitments. The
implementation of the actions to achieve
reductions is supported by the indicators
set up to track their results and impacts.
Consolidated in a dedicated dashboard, they
enable Paris 2024 to track its performance
at each stage throughout the project
(planning, operations and legacy) and
ensure that it delivers on its commitments.
The Paris 2024 climate strategy is focused
primarily on reducing the CO2 emissions
linked to the organisation of the Games.
Paris 2024 has also made a commitment
to offset all irreducible emissions, covering
the broadest possible scope (including
international travel by spectators). In 2021,
the Organising Committee announced that
it was ramping up its climate commitments
by offsetting even more emissions
than those generated by the Games.
Set up with assistance from the BPCE
Group, an Official Partner of Paris 2024,
the Paris 2024 offset programme supports
projects to capture or avoid CO2 emissions
in line with the best certification standards
across the five continents. Paris 2024 is also
supporting the emergence of offset projects
at national level, liaising with its stakeholders,
by contributing to the development of
the Bas Carbone (Low Carbon) label in
France. In 2021, the first offset projects
were rolled out in various countries.

IODIVERSITY PLAN AND
STRATEGY: PRESERVING,
PROMOTING, REGENERATING
Thanks to a concept based on a large number
of existing venues, Paris 2024 is reducing
its impact on biodiversity and natural
environments. To incorporate the stakes
relating to the environmental impact of
the venues, Paris 2024 is now backed by a
dedicated strategy to support its ambition
to organise Games that preserve natural
areas at each of the 40 competition venues
and the non-competition venues that will
be staging this event. This strategy was
unveiled alongside the World Conservation
Congress organised by the International
Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)
in Marseille in September 2021.

2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS › 2.2 - DELIVERING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT WITH A RESPONSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE APPROACH
With its commitment to go above and
beyond the regulatory framework in place,
the Organising Committee is innovating
by setting out a specific approach for the
competition venues, benefiting from a tool
to assess the impact of developments on
biodiversity and natural environments.
This method has made it possible to
draw up a series of targeted actions and
recommendations in connection with
the development of the venues, from the
design phase through to their legacy. This
action plan will enable Paris 2024 and
the project’s stakeholders to implement
dedicated initiatives at each venue focused
on preserving biodiversity, respecting
the heritage features in place, safeguarding
environmental health, supporting the circular
economy and reducing the carbon impact.
Among the various actions taken, Paris 2024
will ensure that the plants in place are
maintained and will use local species for
the trees, hedges and meadows created.
It will put in place solutions to reduce
night-time lighting in order to minimise
any disruption for nocturnal species, as
well as efficient cooling solutions (water
tiles increasing evaporation, reflective
blinds, light-coloured furniture).
MOBILISED STAKEHOLDERS
At the Olympic and Paralympic Village,
SOLIDEO is developing a landscaping
strategy for all of the green spaces, looking
to plant nearly 9,000 trees of around
30 different varieties. This initiative is in
addition to the landscaping programme
led by Paris 2024, the City of Paris and
Plaine Commune, covering all of the sites,
with a total budget of €4 billion. The Plaine
Commune initiative to “Adopt a tree in
the Olympic and Paralympic Village”
developed by Plaine Commune is part
of this approach, while helping build
awareness among school students on
the lifecycle of trees, their role in terms of
biodiversity and how green spaces improve
the quality of life in urban environments.
With its Responsible Procurement Strategy,
Paris 2024 gives priority to proposals
that help respect the environment in the
communities where it operates and promotes
providers that offer regenerative solutions
for the environment and biodiversity.
26
Planning ahead to anticipate the
consumption of resources and the second
life of products is central to the Paris 2024
strategy, from the purchasing phase onwards.
For a more precise approach, the Organising
Committee will be supported by a Resource
Management Plan: an approach to assess its
“materials footprint”, enabling it to estimate
its consumption of resources with a view to
optimising this level, reducing the volume
of waste involved and planning ahead for
the second life of these resources. Work
on the methodology and data collection
was launched in February 2021, with the
Plan to be finalised at the start of 2022.
This responsible approach has already guided
the selection and design of certain facilities.
At Pulse, its headquarters, Paris 2024 applies
a zero food waste policy, is eliminating singleuse plastic bottles in conjunction with its
partner Coca-Cola, and has environmentally
responsible furniture thanks to the innovative
solutions developed by several providers
from the social and solidarity economy.
The use of timber and reusable materials
and the sorting and recovery of construction
site waste were prioritised when GL Events
built the Grand Palais Ephémère, which
was inaugurated in 2021. The choice of
this temporary site — which will become
the Champs-de-Mars Arena in 2024 and
will host judo, wrestling, para judo and
wheelchair rugby events — illustrates
Paris 2024’s commitment to capitalising
on existing opportunities in order to avoid
any unnecessary construction. Lastly, three
temporary training pools — one of which
will be split into two 25 metre pools — will
be redeployed in several Seine-Saint-Denis
districts following the Games and represent
a major legacy for this department, which
has a lack of sports facilities. In addition
to the Resource Management Plan,
Paris 2024 is working to draw up a zero
waste policy, supported by an action
plan mapped out with its stakeholders.

enterprises. For Paris 2024, 20% of the
tenders had been placed (versus 36% for
SOLIDEO), with a total of 1,300 providers
selected, including 130 organisations
from the social and solidarity economy in
sectors such as the circular economy, waste
management, catering and agriculture.

These figures highlight the effectiveness
of the two platforms set up to facilitate
access to tenders for very small businesses,
SMEs and social enterprises: Entreprises
2024, led by MEDEF, and ESS 2024, led by
Les Canaux and the Yunus Centre. On this
last platform, in just two years, 4,522 social
enterprises were listed, with 47% from
the Paris Region and 18% from SeineSaint-Denis. These support measures are
combined with forums that bring together
businesses around Paris 2024, SOLIDEO
and ESS 2024 stakeholders. In 2021, around
10 meet-ups were organised, with nearly
1,000 businesses attending. Paris 2024
encourages the creation of consortia that
bring together major groups, very small
businesses, SMEs and social enterprises with
a view to creating value in their communities.

Around 4,000 businesses were provided
with information as part of the Entreprendre
2024 programme, led by BPCE Group, an
Official Partner of Paris 2024, and involving
SOLIDEO and Paris 2024. Throughout France,
around 20 events were organised to head
out and meet very small businesses, SMEs
and social enterprises and provide them with
information in the build-up to the Games. A
similar initiative was carried out by the SeineSaint-Denis Department: the first Fabrique
des Jeux (Games Factory) workshop
brought together 500 businesses. These
initiatives, along with the actions led
by Plaine Commune, Grand Paris Grand
Est and Est Ensemble, confirm that the
communities are committed to ensuring that
the Paris 2024 Games are truly exemplary.
The Paris 2024 Olympic and
Paralympic Games are an
opportunity for France and
businesses: around 17,000 of them
have already registered on the
Entreprises 2024 platform. Together,
we will go further, higher, stronger.

The initiatives to facilitate
access for small structures to the
tenders relating to the Games are
transforming the landscape. This
is illustrated by our experimental
project to create fertile substrates.
In addition to the training and jobs
generated, this could lead to the
creation of a new industrial sector.

↓ E MPLOYMENT AND TRAINING:
CREATING LONG-TERM CAREER PATHS
Another key focus for this second forum was employment,
with confirmation that around 150,000 people will be
directly involved in working on the organisation of the
Games, in the construction, events and tourism sectors,
which have been particularly affected by the crisis.
Paris 2024 and all of the stakeholders involved want
the Games to represent a springboard for long-term
employment, looking beyond the temporary dimension
of this event. The second study entrusted to the Centre for
Law and Economics in Sport (CDES) and the consultancy
Amnyos made it possible to update the job mapping
analysis for the 2024 Games and develop more in-depth
insights. Thanks to this analysis, the training programmes
to facilitate access to long-term employment have been
identified, especially in these sectors that face recruitment
challenges. Career fact sheets will enable the employment,
integration and training organisations concerned to provide
better support for their beneficiaries, by anticipating
requirements while creating sustainable career paths.
The “Impact 2024 - From the Stadium to Employment” job
dating programme is also being ramped up: around 40 events
have been organised throughout France since October 2019,
despite the health crisis, including one session alongside
the economic and employment opportunities forum.
Organised by employment organisations from the Saint-Denis
area, this session provided an opportunity for 80 jobseekers
to meet with 15 companies during a day combining sports
activities and recruitment interviews. Alongside Paris 2024,
the communities hosting the Games are committed to
supporting local jobs and developing training programmes in
line with the activities required for the Games. For instance,
the Île-de-France Region has launched 11,000 training
courses each year on the professional activities required
for the Games, as well as an e-learning programme and
a number of innovative initiatives to ensure easy access
and further strengthen the appeal of these courses. In
conjunction with Plaine Commune and the City of Paris,
the “2024, All Champions” project helps disadvantaged
individuals to access the job opportunities opened up by
the Games through dedicated training and support.
The work to update the analysis mapping the jobs
mobilised directly by the Paris 2024 Games indicates
that the volume and temporality of employment
requirements are still virtually stable compared
with the work on the initial study (150,000 jobs).
With Paris 2024, thousands of jobs and hundreds
of sectors are to be promoted and capitalised on
with young people and long-term jobseekers. The
“1 Young Person, 1 Solution” plan is aligned with
this goal, with initiatives that will make it possible
to inspire careers and empower talents to emerge.
The Emplois 2024 platform has been developed
through a close partnership with all of the
stakeholders involved in the Paris 2024 Games. It
represents the culmination of our commitment to
bringing businesses and candidates together around
the job opportunities generated by this event.

FFICIAL LICENSED PRODUCTS:
OPPORTUNITIES FOR FRENCH BUSINESSES
Paris 2024’s Official Licensed Products
programme is opening up major
opportunities for French businesses
(production and retail). It is also an
outstanding vehicle to promote the best of
French know-how, especially since Paris 2024
encourages local sourcing. At the end of
2021, 19 of the 21 licence holders working
alongside the Organising Committee were
French, from the SME in charge of producing
the badges (Drago in Massy-Palaiseau)
through to the Monnaie de Paris, France’s
longest-standing institution, which is
producing the Paris 2024 collection at its
mints in Paris and the Bordeaux region.
The 300,000 commemorative coins and
medallions sold between September and
November confirm the strong level of public
interest in Paris 2024 licensed products,
while it took just three minutes to sell all
the pairs of the limited-edition sneakers
created by Paris 2024 and Le Coq Sportif,
the first product from the programme,
released to mark Olympic Day on 23 June.
Through its Official Licensed Products
programme, Paris 2024 challenges and
encourages its licence holders to adopt
social and environmental best practices
for designing their products, covering
various aspects, from working conditions
to inclusion, sourcing and packaging. For
instance, as an Official Partner of the Games,
Decathlon will create an Olympic Dream
capsule collection, produced by the social
enterprise Résilience, which supports people
with their professional reintegration. The entire
Paris 2024 ecosystem is committed to ensuring
the widespread adoption of these practices.
The Official Licensed Products programme
will include as many as 10,000 listings, across
10 categories: textiles and accessories, souvenir
products, publishing, luggage and travel,
games and toys, video games, lottery, stamps
and coins, home and decoration, other. When
the official online store was launched by the
International Olympic Committee on the
symbolic date of 1,000 days before the Games,
41 Paris 2024 textiles and accessories products
were available. In addition to online sales,
Paris 2024 aims to be supported by a network
of 30,000 points of sale throughout France.

MILESTONES WERE PASSED, IN LINE
WITH THE SCHEDULE SET, FOR THE
PLANNING AND OPTIMISATION OF
SERVICES AND OPERATIONS, AS WELL
AS VENUE DELIVERY.
The sports programme for the Paris 2024
Paralympic Games is now official. On
19 November 2021, the International
Paralympic Committee (IPC) adopted it
following a collaborative process working
with all of the International Federations.
Several records will fall in 2024, including
the number of women present, with
1,859 female athletes* expected to
compete in the 235 events planned.
In addition to the record number of events:
there will be a total of 549, across 22 sports,
involving 4,400 athletes. Some changes
have been made compared with previous
Games, notably to enable athletes with
more significant specific needs to have more
opportunities for medals. Illustrating this,
11 boccia events are planned, compared
with seven previously. Successfully
introduced in Tokyo, para badminton
will offer two additional events in
Paris to give a total of 16 overall.
2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS › 2.2 - DELIVERING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT WITH A RESPONSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE APPROACH
This dense programme, showcased
with iconic venues, will ensure a unique
experience for everyone involved
in these Paralympic Games.
Some adjustments have been made to
the competition venue map, in line with
Paris 2024’s ambition to stage spectacular
and responsible Games. The start and finish
locations for the road-based Olympic events
were adopted by Paris 2024’s Executive Board
in December 2021. The Invalides site, which
will host the archery competitions, will also
be the backdrop for the start of the cycling
time trial events (women’s and men’s) and
the finish for the marathons (women’s, men’s
and Mass Participation Marathon). The time
trial events will finish at Pont Alexandre III,
while the marathons will set out from the
Hôtel de Ville in Paris. Lastly, the cycling road
race events (women’s and men’s) and the
race walking events (women’s and men’s)
will both start and finish at Pont d’Iéna.
The choice of these sites will offer a
magnificent setting at the heart of Paris,
engaging large numbers of people, while
making it possible, particularly at the
Invalides venue, to pool the operational
spaces and optimise the costs involved.
In line with a similar focus on optimising
the approach and promoting the sports
and athletes, Paris 2024 has moved the
Paralympic Games goalball events from
Pierre de Coubertin Stadium to Hall 6 at
Porte de Versailles. This venue, which will
host weightlifting during the Olympic Games,
will form a Paralympic hub with Hall 1
(boccia) and Hall 4 (para table tennis).
* This number could increase with the 339 mixed
quotas planned for the Paris 2024 Games.

PARIS 2024
39 TRAINING VENUES APPROVED
In 2021 Paris 2024 reviewed the technical
features of the various venues with the
International Federations in order to allocate
the facilities that offer the best fit with the
various technical requirements for their
sports. This made it possible to select
39 dedicated training venues, including
18 in the Île-de-France Region. Two major
promises guided this selection. The first is to
offer the athletes an optimum experience,
including the possibility for some of them
to train at the Village itself, delivering on
a pledge from the bid phase that is one
of the standout features of the Paris 2024
Games. The second promise is the strong
legacy for communities after the Games.
Many training venues will be part of the
programme to renovate neighbourhood
sports facilities funded by SOLIDEO. Looking
beyond the Games, they will benefit the
different communities and their residents,
and particularly people living in SeineSaint-Denis, because 61% of the Olympic
Games training venues (and up to 83% of
the Paralympic Games training venues)
will be located in this department.

AIN OPERATIONS
As in 2020, Paris 2024 showed its adaptability
and agility to achieve its goals faced
with the impacts of the health crisis.
MANY TENDERS HAVE ALREADY BEEN LAUNCHED
AND HAVE REACHED DIFFERENT PHASES:
LAUNCH PHASE
VENUES AND EVENTS: PLANNING AND OPTIMISING
SERVICES AND OPERATIONS
Through a joint commitment with the IOC,
Paris 2024 has put in place a delivery model
that aims to identify the best operators
and the best possible organisation for
delivering the sports events in the Games.
Paris 2024 is targeting excellence for its
delivery, limiting complexity and promoting
French expertise in the events sector.
The delivery models were clarified in 2021.
Thanks to the launch of the “pilot” venues
from the end of 2020, two models have
been stabilised: an optimised delivery
model, based on the involvement of several
delivery entities overseen by Paris 2024,
and a delivery model that is handled
in-house by Paris 2024 for “complex”
events in order to respond to the limited
expertise available on the market.
At the end of 2021, the negotiations with the
candidates were at an advanced stage for
the “pilot” venues, aiming to finalise these
contracts during the first half of 2022.

Paris 2024 has also launched
procedures to connect electricity
supplies for the Games competition
and non-competition venues.
Moving forward, all of these venues
will have fully secure supplies
set up with the national grid
throughout the event, ensuring
zero use of generators for primary
supplies, in line with a strong
commitment to reducing the
event’s carbon footprint. In 2021,
Paris 2024 submitted 80% of
the connection requests for the
Olympic and Paralympic venues
in the Paris Region, paving the
way for work on the network
to be launched from the end of
the year. The remaining venues
will be connected up in 2022.
36
Paris 2024 has continued to draw up
the transport plan for the Games,
working closely with the IOC and IPC.
The main network of Olympic and
Paralympic lanes has been finalised and
the corresponding decree was published
at the end of 2021. Vital for the Games to
run smoothly, these dedicated lanes are
intended to secure the transit times for
athletes primarily, as well as for accredited
populations. The vast majority of the
stakeholders concerned will use the
Olympic lanes or predefined routes
with a view to minimising the impacts
on road traffic. The routes are mapped
out working with local authorities in order
to ensure the best possible coexistence
between local traffic and Olympic traffic.
Moreover, Paris 2024 aims to use public
systems to transport 100% of spectators
to and from all the competition venues,
further minimising the impact on traffic,
which has already been significantly
limited thanks to the project’s compact
concept – 80% of the competition venues
are located within 10 km of the Village.
The transport system for accredited
pass holders has been adapted in order
to provide the best possible service,
by optimising the light vehicle fleet for
instance. Paris 2024 is continuing to work
with the various operators to ensure
the provision of bus and coach services
as part of the transport operations for
the Games. The Paralympic transport
plan is being adapted, from the routes
mapped out for the Paralympic lanes
through to the levels of service.

Lastly, welcoming the accredited
populations and spectators represents
a major challenge for Paris 2024. The
Games experience starts from the moment
people arrive at the stations or airports. The
Organising Committee has therefore opened
talks with all the various external operators
in order to draw up a more in-depth
definition of the operations for welcoming
accredited persons and spectators that will
help make the Games a truly unforgettable
event. Lastly, Paris 2024 is working
on the arrangements for transporting
athletes to the various host cities with a
view to maximising the use of trains.

SECURITY
The Games represent a major
challenge, with more than 300 events
to be secured during two periods
of two weeks each. The pressure
on the security forces, both private
and public, requires an extreme
level of mobilisation and involves
specific challenges, taking into
account the features of certain
extensive competition areas and the
groundbreaking concept adopted
for the Opening Ceremony. The
security of this event can only be
conceived through a commitment
by all of the various public sector
services, the State, the organiser
and the host authorities.
MICHEL CADOT
Inter-ministerial Delegate for the Paris 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games
The security of everyone involved in the
Games, from athletes to spectators and
volunteers, is crucial for a major open
celebration that can be enjoyed as widely
as possible. It is therefore positioned as a
core priority for Paris 2024. In January 2021,
a memorandum of understanding between
the French State and Paris 2024 clarified
the roles and responsibilities of each party
within the security model adopted for
the Olympic and Paralympic Games:
Paris 2024 will be responsible for access
control and security within the Olympic
and Paralympic facilities, and the French
State and public authorities will operate
outside the venues and may be assisted by
security agents deployed by Paris 2024.
This memorandum of understanding
was signed following work based on
very close collaboration with the State
services and involving a large number of
different stakeholders, such as the IOC.
Similarly, the concept for the Opening
Ceremony on the River Seine was
subject to specific and collective
work in order to ensure its viability
from a security perspective.
2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS › 2.2 - DELIVERING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT WITH A RESPONSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE APPROACH
This work made it possible to define the
core guidelines for the feasibility conditions
and the breakdown of responsibilities
for the organisation of this ceremony.
For an event on this scale, it is vital to work
with private security companies as well.
To structure a sector that faces various
pressures, weakened by the consequences
of the Covid crisis, Paris 2024 and the
French State launched work to engage
with all of the industry’s stakeholders and
put in place training actions for the private
security officers that will be needed to
effectively organise the Games in 2024.
In November 2021, Paris 2024 launched
two competitive dialogue procedures on
security equipment and technology.
THE SECURITY OF EVERYONE

ATHLETES TO SPECTATORS AND
VOLUNTEERS, IS CRUCIAL FOR A

CAN BE ENJOYED AS WIDELY AS
POSSIBLE.
38
2021 was marked by the partnership
set up between Paris 2024 and Accor,
a leading global hospitality group and
the largest hotel operator in France.
The group will harness its know-how to
support accredited populations, helping to
welcome them and provide accommodation
throughout the country. For the first
time in the history of the Games,
accommodation in the two Villages will be
managed by a hotel operator: athletes and
media representatives will benefit from the
quality of a world-leading group’s services
in this area. Under this partnership, Accor
will offer a digital platform and innovative
booking system for accredited persons.
Provided by ResaEvents, an Accor group
subsidiary, this platform will facilitate
the customer experience and enable the
entire French tourism industry to benefit
from the positive impacts of the Games.
Alongside this, Paris 2024 has continued to
roll out its accommodation plan, confirming
the capacity in place to cover the needs
for accommodation during the Games
(54,300 hotel rooms) and continuing to
finalise the allocation of these rooms for the
various customers. This plan has a strong
focus on the sector’s diversity, enabling all
of the Paris Region’s hospitality operators,
whatever their size, to benefit from the
positive impacts of the Games. This approved
capacity is based on 618 hotels and 46% of
them are independent or franchises. The IOC
also confirmed its support for the Organising
Committee by approving Paris 2024’s
proposed allocation for each group of
customers presented during its Executive
Board meeting on 7 December 2021.

part of the partnership with Sodexo.
This subsidiary of the French Sodexo
group will offer up to 40,000 servings
each day for around 15,000 athletes from
the Olympic and Paralympic delegations.
Under this partnership, food and beverage
services for members of the public
at 13 competition venues will also be
provided by this Sodexo subsidiary.
The food and beverage selection provided
in the Village will be focused on three goals:
supporting the athletes’ performance by
offering a choice of food and drinks adapted
for high-level sport, sharing a memorable
experience by showcasing French know-how,
and delivering a food and beverage service
that is closely aligned with the environmental
and social commitments set out for the
Games. To build on these commitments,
Paris 2024 is working with its entire
ecosystem to map out a Food Vision which
will guide the deployment of sustainable food
and beverage services, thanks to Paris 2024’s
Responsible Procurement Strategy, the
selection of recipes using local and seasonal
produce, and various solutions to tackle
food waste and reduce plastic packaging.
Paris 2024 has drawn up a Resource
Management Plan to determine the
material footprint of the Games
and better plan ahead for waste
management. Qualification work has
been launched, making it possible to
draw up a strategy and action plan.

The medical plan for the Games will be
supported by the cooperation agreement
between Paris 2024 and Assistance
Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), which
is expected to be signed at the start of
2022. This agreement will guide the way
that the Polyclinic operates, clearly setting
out the responsibilities of each stakeholder,
while ensuring the overall coordination
of the plan in place and the integration
of Paris 2024 healthcare volunteers.
LOGISTICS
Paris 2024 has launched several procedures
– calls for expression of interest for
partnerships – relating to logistics and goods
transportation services for the Games, such
as the delivery of mattresses for rooms in the
Olympic and Paralympic Village and Media
Village. The FF&E requirements – Furniture,
Fixtures and Equipment – for each venue
were also identified before launching the
tender procedure. Paris 2024 is continuing
to work with several logistics operators to
put in place sustainable urban logistics.

AMES DRIVING DEVELOPMENT
IN HOST TERRITORIES
As the energy channelled by the Games
must benefit everyone and help drive the
urban transformation of host territories,
all of the development operations carried
out for the Paris 2024 Games are focused on
meeting long-term needs, identified and
planned liaising with local stakeholders
and particularly Seine-Saint-Denis, which
will benefit from 75% of the investments.
These permanent infrastructures illustrate
the commitment to organising responsible
and sustainable Games that limit all
of their impacts on the environment.
The Olympic and Paralympic Village,
Media Village and Aquatics Centre are
outstanding examples of the Games
legacy and 2021 saw a decisive step forward
with the beginning of their construction.
Several projects overseen by SOLIDEO
and all of the project owners in charge
of permanent projects were launched on
schedule and in line with the environmental
and social ambitions of the Games.
COMMITTED TO UNIVERSAL ACCESSIBILITY
Paris 2024 is committed to enabling
everyone to fully participate in the Games,
regardless of their specific permanent or
temporary needs, by offering a simple,
smooth and convenient experience for
everyone. To achieve universal accessibility,
three objectives are being pursued:
ensuring full participation and a barrierfree experience for all, leaving a tangible
and intangible legacy for the benefit of host
community residents and visitors, and raising
the standards for future major events.
Adopted in 2021, this strategy was
developed working closely with the
Paris 2024 ecosystem and is based on four
transversal working groups depending
on the areas covered: disability and
Disability and
accessibility
accessibility, accessibility of Paris Region
public transport services, legacy and
sport for all, and accessible tourism.
The universal accessibility principles are
integrated into all aspects of organising
the Paris 2024 Games. Always looking to
go the extra mile, Paris 2024 supports
innovations that make a difference in terms
of accessibility, from access to venues to
their adaptation and fitting out, access
to information and an inclusive welcome
through a training programme covering 100%
of the volunteers. A dedicated programme
of actions will make it possible to implement
this strategy and build a lasting legacy.

OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC VILLAGE
With the Olympic and Paralympic Village,
SOLIDEO and Paris 2024 aim to propose
a new construction model, and a new
perspective on cities and life in them.
Following the launch of construction works
in 2021, the site was visited in October
by French President Emmanuel Macron,
accompanied by several members of the
government and various officials from
Seine-Saint-Denis, during an event attended
by representatives from SOLIDEO and
Paris 2024. This visit was an opportunity to
symbolically lay the foundation stone for
this venue, which illustrates the collective
ambition for these Paris 2024 Games.
Firstly, through its construction, which
is focused on sustainability by halving
carbon emissions (bio-sourced materials,
low-carbon concrete, energy-efficient
buildings), protecting biodiversity
(three landscaped green spaces and
about 9,000 trees and shrubs planted
across all the public spaces), recovering
construction waste (targeting 80%)
and optimising the quality of life
for residents (climate comfort,
universal accessibility, environmentallyfriendly mobility, services).
Secondly, through its positive impacts
for Seine-Saint-Denis, because the Village
will be transformed into a residential
neighbourhood in 2025, with over
2,500 homes, as well as offices (notably for
2,500 civil servants from the Ministry of the
Interior from 2026), shops and public facilities
(two schools, childcare centres, sports and
cultural resources), and a student residence.
In 2021, Paris 2024 began allocating
accommodation units to the delegations
within the Olympic and Paralympic Village.
The six National Olympic Committees and
National Paralympic Committees with the
largest delegations (athletes and officials)
were called on with a view to anticipating
their requirements. This work is making it
possible to secure the locations chosen,
optimising the process for allocating
accommodation to the various delegations.

The foundation stone was also laid for
another venue in 2021 (November), but for
competition use this time, with the Aquatics
Centre, which is being built by Métropole
du Grand Paris and the concession
operator that it appointed, at the heart
of La Plaine Saulnier in Saint-Denis. After
the Games, it will provide a legacy on two
levels: for the general public, benefiting
from an Olympic size pool, a diving pool
and a teaching pool, and for the French
swimming community, with access to a
high-level training and competition centre.
This venue is also aligned with Paris 2024’s
commitment to sound environmental
stewardship, through both its architectural
design and its environmentally-responsible
construction. This is illustrated by its timber
structure and roof frame, as well as its
5,000 sqm roof covered with photovoltaic
panels, which will contribute to its selfsufficiency for energy and make it one of
France’s largest urban solar farms. The seats
in the stands will be made from recycled
waste collected from schools in SaintDenis, once again illustrating the collective
engagement around environmental issues.

the Olympic facilities showcase the

The Grand Palais Éphémère (which will become the Champde-Mars Arena in 2024), the first temporary venue to be
delivered for the Paris 2024 Games, was inaugurated in
June 2021. A temporary 10,000 sqm building overseen
by Réunion des Musées Nationaux - Grand Palais (RMN)
and Paris 2024, designed by the French architect JeanMichel Wilmotte and developed by GL Events, it will
host the judo and wrestling events, followed by para judo
and wheelchair rugby. This facility is a new flagship for
sustainable temporary construction: flexible, agile, biosourced and circular. It supports Paris 2024’s ambitions
to deliver Games that are spectacular and closely aligned
with the environmental, economic and social stakes faced
today. It also illustrates the project’s adaptability, with
Paris 2024 taking the opportunity to include this new
venue at the heart of Paris, whereas it was not part of the
bid file. In addition to its iconic timber structure, several
elements have been integrated with a view to limiting the
project’s impact, from its design through to dismantling (the
structure can be dismantled and reused based on several
modules) and construction (limiting, sorting and recovering
construction site waste, minimising any disturbance).
Lastly, French expertise and know-how were showcased
to deliver this outstanding architectural development.
Work on this site moved into a new phase
on 3 November 2021, with the signing of
property sales agreements. In July, the
decision by the Paris Administrative Court
of Appeal enabled the preparatory work to
resume, confirming the integration of the
Aire des Vents sector’s environmental issues
at the heart of the project. The development
of the Media Village will therefore be able
to ramp up, along with work on the entire
cluster located in Dugny and Le Bourget. It
will also include the Le Bourget exhibition
centre, which will house the International
Broadcast Centre (IBC), as well as the Le
Bourget sports and school park, which will
be the venue for the climbing events. Located
on the edge of Parc Georges Valbon, which
is the third-largest park in the Île-de-France
Region and has been awarded the Natura
2000 label, the Media Village will become
a residential neighbourhood aligned with
the latest environmental standards.

SPORTS FACILITIES RENOVATED AND OPENED UP
TO ENSURE ACCESSIBILITY
The Games are accelerating the renovation of around
20 community sports facilities in the Paris Region and in
Seine-Saint-Denis in particular. Led by SOLIDEO, these
facilities, including Yves-du-Manoir Stadium in Colombes,
the Georges-Vallerey swimming pool in Paris and the aquatics
centre in Aulnay-sous-Bois, will be used by local communities
with a view to helping develop participation in sport.
This renovation programme is also focused on another
two goals. Environmental excellence, thanks in particular
to improvements in energy performance levels (e.g. for
the renovation of the Île-des-Vannes sports complex)
or development programmes aimed at renaturing leisure
areas and facilitating mobility. Universal accessibility,
in order to be able to welcome all audiences. A number
of sports facilities built during the 20th century, such as
Pierre de Coubertin Stadium, which was inaugurated in 1937,
were not aligned with universal accessibility requirements.
As part of this facility’s renovation, the number of spaces
in the stands will be increased and the changing room
areas will be adapted for people with reduced mobility.
2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS › 2.2 - DELIVERING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST SPORTING EVENT WITH A RESPONSIBLE AND INCLUSIVE APPROACH
Thanks to the dynamics established
by the Paris 2024 Games, 10 sports
facilities (sports centres, sports fields,
an athletics track and three new
aquatics centres) will be renovated
or built in the Plaine Commune area,
benefiting our entire community. This
will generate fantastic momentum
for developing sport in a department
where facilities are lacking. Plaine
Commune has also developed a
fitness trail and recreational sports
project with a view to creating public
spaces that promote exercise and
good health, offering opportunities
for everyone to get moving more
and take part in sport close to
their home. This is a public health
challenge that we are meeting with
Paris 2024 and the French State.

Paris 2024 has unveiled its celebratory ambition for the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games.
In 2024, for the first time in history, the Opening Ceremony will take place outside of a stadium. It will
be set in the heart of Paris, against the backdrop of the River Seine, along a 6 km route between Pont
d’Austerlitz and Pont d’Iéna. On 13 December 2021, the Paris 2024 Executive Board adopted this
groundbreaking concept and location, following more than one year of intense collaboration working
closely with the public authorities to assess the feasibility of this challenge and identify all the solutions.

the relevance of this approach. An extensive
consultation process was carried out
with stakeholders alongside this event in
order to identify the needs and goals of
the various municipalities. The insights
from this operational feedback made
it possible to define the core pillars for
the “Celebrations in the City” with the
guiding principles approved by the Paris 2024

They reflect the promise to channel the
energy of the Games to benefit everyone,

by supporting celebrations throughout
France, facilitating meetings between
French people and athletes, encouraging
programmes that connect sport and
culture, and promoting participation
in sport. This strategy will be finalised
during the first half of 2022 and presented
to the Executive Board in July.
The strategy is built around close
engagement with the stakeholders, and
some of their projects will contribute to the
overall celebrations. For instance, the French
National Olympic and Sports Committee
(CNOSF) has announced that Club France will
be setting up a facility in Parc de la Villette
during the Games period. The Seine-SaintDenis Departmental Council has confirmed
that it will also be setting up a Live Site open
to everyone in its community, with Paris 2024
to work on this project alongside it.

The celebrations that accompanied
the Handover Ceremonies then the
symbolic milestone of 1,000 days before
the Paris 2024 Games helped build even
stronger community engagement around
this event throughout France. They also
helped accelerate the deployment of Club
Paris 2024: 100,000 members joined it
during this period, giving it a total of
300,000 members at the end of 2021.
Created by Paris 2024 to enable members
of the public to enjoy inside access to
the Games experience and encourage
participation in sport, Club Paris 2024
capitalised on the momentum generated
over the summer to offer new opportunities
for its members to get actively involved in the
Games. Actively engaged in the Handover
Ceremonies between Tokyo and Paris first
of all: two people were invited on board the
Alpha Jets flown by the Patrouille de France,
the national aerobatics display team, who
performed a flyby of the Live des Jeux event
at Trocadéro during the Olympic handover.
Meanwhile, 2,500 members were given
priority access to the site, and 25 of them
and their families were invited backstage
during the ceremonies and had opportunities
to meet athletes from Team France.

The Executive Board also approved the
volunteer engagement strategy, which is

the French regions represented, volunteers
from other countries and people with
disabilities). To reach out to the people who
would like to play a role in the celebration
of the Games, all of the stakeholders from
the Paris 2024 project will be mobilised
and actively contribute to the engagement
campaign. Paris 2024 opened discussions
with the host communities during a

The Paris 2024 Executive Board approved
the core principles and business model
for this initiative in the autumn, following
a consultation process involving the
sporting movement, public stakeholders
and various elected representative
associations. The Torch Relay has three
goals: widely engaging with communities
throughout France, showcasing the regions,
their heritage and their know-how while
respecting the environment, and promoting
all those involved in sport on a day-today basis. The route will be mapped out
around these goals and the eight guiding
principles based on them: passing through
as many territories as possible, ensuring
that the torch visits an overseas territory,
giving priority to major population hubs,
ensuring parity and inclusion for people
with disabilities, promoting French heritage,
ensuring a European symbol, organising
a sustainable and carbon-neutral Relay,
engaging local sports clubs and associations
in the organisation of the Torch Relay.
For the first time, the French departments
will be institutional partners for
the Torch Relay: they will build the
programme together with Paris 2024.
The departments that apply will be able
to help define the route in their area
and select the towns and cities visited
in order to promote their heritage and
benefit from this unique exposure. For the
Torch Relay, the commitment to ensuring
a pivotal position for the departments
and the engagement model proposed
received a positive response from the

MAKING OUR NATION
MORE ACTIVE

Paris 2024 is committed to promoting
sport and physical activity with a view to
tackling sedentary lifestyles. 2021 was
marked by the acceleration of the rollout
of programmes encouraging people across
France, and particularly children and young
people, to be more active. In addition to
the work carried out to raise awareness
levels, thanks to the mobilisation of
all those involved in the Olympic and
Paralympic project, various initiatives have
been launched to facilitate access so that
everyone can engage in physical activities.

The fifth Olympic and Paralympic Week
(1-6 February 2021) was an opportunity to
launch an ambitious programme, developed
as part of a Paris 2024 initiative and backed
by the Minister of National Education, Youth
and Sport, introducing 30 minutes of daily
physical activity and sport at primary
school in addition to physical education
and sports lessons. With its mission to
promote sport and its values among young
people, from preschool to university,
the Olympic and Paralympic Week once
again mobilised Paris 2024 and the entire
sporting movement to offer more than
1,600 projects at more than 3,000 schools
and higher education establishments in
more than 1,000 towns and cities throughout
France. Faced with the constraints linked
to the health context, the Olympic and
Paralympic Week offered an innovative video
programme that presented athletes and
influencers working in tandem to share the
good habits and practices to adopt for an
active life. More than 200 athletes took part
in events throughout France, helping raise
awareness among 500,000 pupils overall.

FIFTH OLYMPIC AND PARALYMPIC WEEK
As the active good practices contributing
to wellbeing and health can be established
at school, from a very young age, the
“30 minutes of daily physical activity” is
seen as a major step in the right direction.
In September 2020, a call for expression of
interest was launched with all of the country’s
local education authorities to develop and
trial this programme. One year later, the
results were positive, with 7,000 schools
volunteering to get involved in this
initiative, benefiting 500,000 pupils.
While the Tokyo 2020 Games were underway,
the French President confirmed this
initiative and announced that it would be
deployed in all primary schools. To help
drive progress with this major movement,
and thanks to support from the Ministry
and joint funding from the French National
Sports Agency (ANS), Paris 2024 took the
initiative to offer educational kits to the
schools involved, including some simple
sports equipment, from the start of 2022. On
its Generation2024.org platform, Paris 2024
is continuing to make educational resources
available to support the teachers who
volunteer to get involved in this initiative.

EDUCATING AND ENGAGING WITH GENERATION 2024 LABEL
Awarded by the French Ministry of National Education,
Youth and Sport and the Ministry of Higher Education
and Research, the Generation 2024 label recognises
schools that make a commitment to incorporate
more sport into everyday life for their students. In
2021, 5,200 primary, middle and high schools and
84 universities and graduate schools were awarded this
label, along with 34 schools for young people with special
educational needs that are committed to promoting
participation in sport among people with disabilities.
In addition, the French Civic Service Agency (ASC)
and Paris 2024 worked together to draw up a frame of
reference for missions that develop civic engagement and
support community interests through sport. Awarded
the Generation 2024 label, some 10,000 civic service
missions will be offered each year through to 2024 for
young people aged 16 to 25. Each mission will be aligned
with the “1 young person – 1 solution” plan, and will be
a positive factor in applications to become a volunteer.

Despite the health crisis, 2021 saw the educational
teams and sporting movement maintain their
continued, courageous and enthusiastic efforts in
order to offer the best possible conditions for our
young people to take part in sport in complete safety.
The fifth Olympic and Paralympic Week, successfully
organised around the theme of health, was an
outstanding showcase for this collective commitment.
It also made it possible to launch the initiative for
30 minutes of daily exercise, looking to help all
children quickly adopt more active lifestyle habits.
By inspiring young people, from school age, to
enjoy regular exercise, enabling them to feel how
this benefits their wellbeing and confidence, this is
a way for us, as former athletes, to give something
back to sport after all that it has given us.
Everyone can take 30 minutes out of their day to get
moving and look after their health. This is simple, get
up from your chair, take a walk, go cycling, do some
gardening. Moving is vital. For Generation 2024 to represent
a healthy France, this would be the best legacy.

This programme makes it possible to help
local and regional authorities to deploy
this method. The agreement signed in
January 2021 by Paris 2024 and the French
Ministry for Territorial Cohesion and
Relations with Local Government paved
the way to launch a collaborative initiative
with Action Cœur de Ville, a national
programme led by the French National
Agency for Territorial Cohesion (ANCT).
Around 100 towns and cities awarded the
Terre de Jeux 2024 label and belonging to
this network are benefiting from support
– information and communication tools –
to develop the “active design” approach.
To support this initiative and empower
municipalities to effectively put it in place,
Paris 2024 published the Operational Guide
to Active Design in December 2021.
2.4 - GAMES OPEN TO SOCIETY AND ITS CHALLENGES
Launched in July 2020, then updated
with sporting movement stakeholders
and the Assembly of French Departments
(ADF), the #ExploreTerredeJeux2024
programme has continued to be rolled out
nationwide. 180 trails and over 2,000 km
were identified during the first campaign.
At the end of 2021, this programme
had 600 trails, including some that are
accessible for people with specific needs,
and 50 departments were on board. These
trails help encourage everyone to enjoy
sport in the outdoors, while promoting the
natural spaces in the various communities.
To bring more sport into people’s lives
throughout France, Paris 2024 is drawing on
support from the municipalities awarded
the label and offering them 21 fact sheets
on how to get moving more with the
“Bouger +” initiative. Developed with
the collective La France en Forme, and
delivered by health professionals from
this organisation, as well as the French
National Observatory for Physical Activity
and Sedentary Behaviour (ONPAS), these
action fact sheets cover all of the issues
relating to sport and health (active mobility,
urban amenities,
integration through
sport, etc.) and
support municipalities
to adopt good
practices. The first
12 fact sheets were
shared looking ahead
to the Tokyo Games,
and will be able to

fields as part of a programme led by the
French National Sports Agency (ANS)
with a multi-year budget of €192 million for
2022-2024. These facilities will be designed
to be accessible for as many people as
possible. In addition, La Française des
Jeux, an Official Partner of Paris 2024 with
a longstanding commitment to promoting
sport for all, has launched the Gagner du
Terrain programme, with calls for projects
benefiting Terre de Jeux 2024 cities to fund
warm-up areas and support widespread
access to neighbourhood sports facilities.
This collaboration is fully aligned with
the rationale guiding our Agency’s
actions. More proximity with the
communities, a shared ambition
focused on 2024 and the promotion
of innovation through sport.
FRÉDÉRIC SANAUR
Director General of the French
National Sports Agency (ANS)
The initiative between Action Cœur
de Ville and Terre de Jeux is very
important. It is fully in line with
the ambition set out by the French
President and the government to
channel the exceptional dynamics
generated by the Paris 2024
Olympic and Paralympic Games to
benefit all of our regions and their
territories. This is illustrated by
the active design approach, which
shows that sport is a powerful
driving force for regenerating city
centres and, more widely, building

"SAVOIR NAGER" IN SEINE-SAINT-DENIS INITIATIVE RAMPED UP
SWIMMING LESSONS
WERE OFFERED TO
1,800 CHILDREN AGED 4
TO 12 AND 400 ADULTS
WHO DO NOT KNOW
HOW TO SWIM, IN FOUR
TEMPORARY POOLS SET UP
FOR THIS OCCASION.
In Seine-Saint-Denis, one of the host
departments of the Paris 2024 Games, one
in every two children starting secondary
school does not know how to swim. That
is why Paris 2024, the French National
Sports Agency (ANS) and the French
Swimming Federation set up the “Learn
to Swim in Seine-Saint-Denis” programme,
which was trialled during summer 2021 in
Clichy-sous-Bois, Villetaneuse, Sevran and
Bagnolet. Swimming lessons were offered to
1,800 children aged 4 to 12 and 400 adults
who do not know how to swim, in four
temporary pools set up for this occasion.
Following this successful experience, this
programme will be rolled out more widely in
2022. More generally, the Paris 2024 Games
are supporting the Seine-Saint-Denis
Department’s Swimming Pool Plan.
In addition to accelerating investment in
aquatic facilities, Paris 2024 and various
stakeholders are contributing to the “Learn
to Swim” programme, which is also based on
training for lifeguards and the optimisation
of the use of existing swimming pools.
In addition, the summer period saw the
launch of the “24 sites for 2024” operation,
led by the Seine-Saint-Denis Departmental
Olympic and Sports Committee (CDOS)
and the Seine-Saint-Denis Department.
Supported by Paris 2024, this initiative
provided an opportunity for the community’s
residents to take part in exercise and discover
sports in public areas. Following the summer,
the operation was renewed from the end
of September through to mid-December.
Seine-Saint-Denis is more
than ever at the heart of
the Games and their legacy.
Work last year made it
possible to launch a number
of projects that will become
vital new public facilities for
our territory. They make the
Games even more concrete
for our residents and their
engagement will be our
main focus in 2022. I am
thinking of participation in
sport, with 24 sites for 2024
and the creation of new
learning pools in the public
space. But I am also thinking
of the future volunteers
that we will be training
over the coming months.

Paris 2024 has set up an Endowment
Fund in line with its commitment
to promoting sport as a tool
for positive social impacts. This
platform accompanies and supports
the projects for social innovation
through sport carried out by
federations as part of the Games
programme, as well as clubs, nonprofits, public stakeholders and
all community interest structures.
In 2020, Paris 2024, the French
National Sports Agency (ANS),
the French National Olympic
and Sports Committee (CNOSF)
and the French Paralympic and
Sports Committee (CPSF) together
launched the Impact 2024 call for
projects, with its first campaign
making it possible to award this
label to around 1,000 projects and
select 55 winners that are benefiting
from funding and support.
2 - OUR ACHIEVEMENTS AND AMBITIONS ›
In 2021, Paris 2024 continued moving
forward with the deployment of its
Endowment Fund, a social innovation tool
making it possible to promote, support
and develop projects that harness sport
as a tool for social impact in response to
major societal issues (health, wellbeing,
education and engagement, inclusion or even
solidarity) around four main areas: sport
to get moving more, sport to educate
and engage, sport to foster inclusion,
equality and solidarity, and sport to
respect the environment. Specifically, it
supports stakeholders from the sporting
movement and the non-profit sector.
The Endowment Fund provides funding
for the Impact 2024 programme, with its
national budget raised from €1.7 million
in 2020 to €4.3 million in 2021. Illustrating
the uniting momentum generated by this
initiative, Paris, the ANS, the CNOSF and the
CPSF were joined by the City of Paris and
the Seine-Saint-Denis Department for the
second call for projects in spring 2021, taking
2.4 - GAMES OPEN TO SOCIETY AND ITS CHALLENGES
this budget up to around €5 million thanks
to the top-up endowment mechanism. A
total of 224 projects have benefited from this
funding at national, regional or local level,
making this call for projects the biggest ever
carried out in France in the field of sport.
Since the Endowment Fund was created
in 2020, €10 million has been distributed,
including €3.5 million by Paris 2024,
to more than 300 projects reaching
700,000 beneficiaries (young people,
women, people with disabilities, etc.)
throughout France. They all involve at
least one project owner from the world
of sport and 70% of the projects are
focused on priority neighbourhoods
targeted in France’s urban policy.

Various initiatives to extend the legacy of the

with the French Development Agency
(AFD) on a campaign with several different
approaches. Impact 2024 International, a
call for projects harnessing sport to support
development, was launched with the AFD
in July 2021 to benefit projects promoting
the social impact of sport in Africa. As part
of this first call for projects, 10 initiatives in
nine African countries received funding for
a total of over €300,000, with three further
calls to follow in 2022 and 2023. The first
intake for the Impact 2024 – Paris 2024
Athlete Entrepreneurs x AFD incubator
enabled 26 athlete-entrepreneurs
(10 in France and 16 in Africa) to receive
individual support as part of their career
transformation plans, covering various
aspects, from inclusion to environmental
protection and education. A second intake
was launched in February 2022. Paris 2024
is also working with the French Ministry
for Europe and Foreign Affairs as part of an
annual call for projects focused on sport and
decentralised cooperation. Launched for the
first time in January 2021, it made it possible
to reward 15 projects in June 2021, led by

To develop daily participation in sport
among people with disabilities, the French

Paris 2024 and the City of Paris launched
a programme in 2021 to develop clubs
that cater for people with disabilities.
Under this initiative, sports clubs interested
in developing para-sports departments
receive comprehensive support, with
specific training provided to leaders and
staff by the CPSF with support from the
disability sports federations FF Handisport
and FF Sport Adapté. Trialled in Paris,
then extended to Seine-Saint-Denis, this
initiative will be ramped up across the Îlede-France Region and then nationwide.
80% of the projects in schools were
linked to para sports and changing
perspectives on disabilities, highlighting
the educational community’s commitment
to more inclusive schools.
Thanks to support from the Assembly of

ATHLETES’ COMMISSION
The Athletes’ Commission has a unique
and groundbreaking position within the
Paris 2024 project, built around a strong
conviction: organising Games for the athletes,
envisioned with the athletes. Chaired by
Martin Fourcade, it is made up of 19 current
and former athletes. Its mission is to codesign the best possible experience for the
athletes taking part in the Games: conceiving
the Olympic and Paralympic Village to ensure
that it is closely aligned with the delegations’
day-to-day experience and requirements,
offering the best services at each competition
venue, and helping develop new concepts
for celebrations and medal ceremonies.
Thanks to its members’ experience, every
aspect of the athlete experience during the
Games is thought out by them and for them.
The Athletes’ Commission members share
their knowledge, present and promote the
values of sport, help mobilise French and
international athletes, and build engagement
among communities all around France.
They are actively involved in building the
Games legacy, by developing participation
in sport and promoting the role of sport in
response to major societal challenges.
We are actively involved in building the project by advising the Paris 2024 teams with a
view to offering the athletes a unique experience during the Games. In 2021, we covered
various aspects, including life within the Village, food and beverage services, and athlete
participation in the celebrations. Thanks to feedback from the experience with the Tokyo
Games, we have been able to fine-tune our recommendations. Within the Athletes’
Commission, we are also committed to mobilising communities across France and building
the Games legacy, enabling sport to have a central position within our society.

French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF)
The French National Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF) is
a non-profit association that represents the Olympic Movement
in France and groups together the 108 sports federations.
Promoting Olympism and its values in France, it forms and leads
the French delegation for the Olympic Games. Under its articles of
association, it is authorised to carry out, on behalf of or working
with the federations, any action that is in the general interests of
the sporting movement and its 17 million registered members.
French Paralympic and Sports Committee (CPSF)
As the only French organisation recognised by the International
Paralympic Committee (IPC), the French Paralympic and Sports
Committee (CPSF) is responsible for the selection, management
and promotion of the French team for the Summer and
Winter Paralympic Games. In France, it leads, coordinates and
represents all of its sports federation members with a view to
developing participation in sport by people with disabilities.
French Ministry of Sport
The French Ministry of Sport is responsible for defining the main
goals for the national sports policy, setting the corresponding legal
framework and ensuring that community interests are respected.
It also promotes the international development and influence
of French sport, in addition to participating in the regulation
of sports activities at international and European level.
City of Paris
The City of Paris signed the Host City Contract. From the bid phase,
it set out its commitment to hosting Games that are focused on
sustainability and sound stewardship, and fully engage with civil
society. The City also wanted these Games to help accelerate public
policies supporting the Greater Paris area and the development
of France, leaving a tangible legacy for its communities.
Seine-Saint-Denis Department
Involved from the bid phase, the Seine-Saint-Denis Department is a
major player for the hosting of the 2024 Games. Many different Olympic
and Paralympic events will be organised there, and many infrastructures
will be renovated or built there, including the three new facilities for the
Games – Olympic and Paralympic Village, Media Village and Aquatics
Centre – then adapted to meet the needs of local communities.
Île-de-France Region
The Île-de-France Region, the primary host region for the
Games, is a founding member of Paris 2024. It is leading,
supporting and funding a number of projects for infrastructure
to stage the Games. It is coordinating its efforts in order to
position this project as an accelerator for public policies, an
innovative event, with a lasting and sustainable legacy.
EPT Plaine Commune
Created in 2000, the Plaine Commune regional public authority (EPA) is
made up of nine cities across Seine-Saint-Denis: Aubervilliers, Épinaysur-Seine, L’Île-Saint-Denis, La Courneuve, Pierrefitte-sur-Seine, SaintDenis, Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine, Stains and Villetaneuse. It is home to
more than 437,000 people, spread over around 50 square kilometres
(equivalent to half the size of Paris). Plaine Commune is positioned at
the heart of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games with the
Olympic and Paralympic Village, three major Olympic competition
venues (Stade de France, Aquatics Centre and Shooting Range), various
Paralympic competition venues, and more than 17 training camps.
City of Marseille
Named the 2013 European Capital of Culture, as well as the
2017 European Capital of Sport, the City of Marseille is committed
to promoting the role of sport in improving quality of life,
health and social cohesion for its communities. Marseille’s
Stade Vélodrome, which has already been the stage for major
international matches, will host football events for the Paris 2024
Olympic Games. The Roucas Blanc Marina, redeveloped to
meet the criteria for staging a competition on this scale, will
be the starting point for the Olympic sailing events. Marseille’s
internationally renowned expertise in organising boat-related
events will help ensure the success of the Paris 2024 Games.
Inter-ministerial Delegation for the Olympic
and Paralympic Games (DIJOP)
The DIJOP is responsible for ensuring the coherency and consistency
of the State’s actions supporting the Games and each ministry’s
contribution to the Olympic and Paralympic project, while liaising with
all of the partners and overseeing the development of the public facilities
programme led by SOLIDEO, with State contributions to their funding.
Société de Livraison des Ouvrages Olympiques (SOLIDEO)
SOLIDEO is the public organisation responsible for funding,
supervising and delivering the development operations and
facilities needed for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
These facilities are conceived and designed with a focus on
the legacy of the Games, when they will be transformed into
shops, homes, offices and facilities for their communities.

PARIS 2024
THROUGH THEIR KNOW-HOW, THEIR EXPERIENCE
AND THEIR CAPACITY TO INNOVATE AND ENGAGE,
OUR CORPORATE PARTNERS ARE ESSENTIAL
TO THE SUCCESS OF THE 2024 GAMES.
Whether worldwide partners (IOC TOP
programme members) or domestic
partners (Premium, Official or Supporters),
they have a pivotal role to play for the
Paris 2024 Games, working alongside us
to build a new model for the Games.
Lastly, our partners are fully involved in
our legacy programmes: they are helping
sport to grow throughout society by raising
their employees’ awareness at work,
taking part in efforts to change society’s
outlook on disabilities, and more.
In addition to their financial contributions,
they provide products and services
linked to their core business, new
technologies that will help support
the organisation of the Games, and
operational support to deliver them.
Paris 2024 liaises with them on a daily
basis to jointly build various projects
and coordinate the network of all its
partners. The respective teams regularly
meet for workshops or dedicated sessions
to share past achievements and upcoming
projects, with a view to encouraging
collective creativity and developing
synergies between the various partners.
The partners are also ambassadors for the
vision of the Paris 2024 Games. By widely
mobilising their ecosystems (employees,
customers, suppliers, etc.), they actively
contribute to the success of our goals.

3.2 - OFFICIAL PARTNERS AT THE HEART OF THE PROJECT
Paris 2024 met the target that it set for
2021: securing two thirds of domestic
partnership revenues, representing around
€715 million. This is the largest amount ever
raised for a sports event held in France.
By the end of the year, the partnership
programme had welcomed on board
27 companies, including 13 Worldwide
Partners and 14 Domestic Partners.
Nine new partners joined the project
in 2021: Sanofi (Premium Partner),
Cisco, PwC, Decathlon and Accor (Official
Partners), DXC Technology, Atos, Sodexo
and Optic 2000 (Official Supporters). In
September 2021, as a Premium Partner,

On 5 September, Visa invited six artists from Seine-Saint-Denis to kick off
this programme by creating vast frescoes displayed on the Stade de France,
portraying those who will benefit from this programme: the young people
living in Seine-Saint-Denis. A few days later, on 18 September, more than
150 residents from Seine-Saint-Denis, including the five young people
shown on the frescoes, were able to enjoy an afternoon at France’s largest
training centre to discover the Olympic and Paralympic sports with
high-level athletes and coaches, such as Sasha Zhoya and Steven
Da Costa, who are members of the Visa Athletes Team.
Approved by the Executive Board during its last meeting of the year in 2021, the
Opening Ceremony concept for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was promoted extensively
by the partners. Around 20 of them shared the images of this groundbreaking ceremony with
their ecosystems, maximising their visibility and impact. The partners are also involved in the
Paris 2024 engagement and legacy programmes. During the 2021 Olympic and Paralympic Week,
more than 150 schools were brought on board through the partners. To mark 100 days before the
Tokyo 2020 Games, Club Paris 2024 brought together the community of Team France supporters
around a series of quizzes enabling them to learn more about the French athletes. Seven of
the 11 quizzes were activated by partners (Allianz, Atos, BPCE Group, EDF and FDJ).

TONY ESTANGUET,
PARIS 2024 PRESIDENT
LEADERSHIP TEAM
The Paris 2024 Organising Committee
has a mission to plan, organise, finance
and deliver the Paris Olympic and
Paralympic Games in 2024. Following
on from the Bid Committee, then the
creation of the Organising Committee in
January 2018, the leadership team was
appointed during the second Executive
Board meeting on 5 July 2018. This team
reflects the project’s ambition: organising
different Games that promote, value and
engage the best that France has to offer.
Tony Estanguet is a three-time Olympic
champion, three-time world champion
and three-time European champion for
single canoe slalom, was France’s flagbearer at the Beijing Games in 2008, and
is the only French person in 120 years to
have won three individual Olympic titles
in three different Olympiads (Sydney 2000,
Athens 2004 and London 2012). Alongside
his experience as an athlete, he was involved
in the sporting movement, as a member of
the Executive Board of the French National
Olympic and Sports Committee (CNOSF)
and its National Canoe-Kayak Federation,
then Vice-President of the International
Canoe Federation and the International
Olympic Committee Athletes’ Commission.
From 2013, he worked alongside Bernard
Lapasset to prepare France’s bid for the
Games and became Co-President of the
Paris 2024 Bid Committee in 2015.

Today, Tony Estanguet is Executive President
of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee
for the Olympic and Paralympic Games,
with an ambition to organise even more
spectacular Games, while offering a new
model for the Games: more sustainable,
more engaged, more focused on solidarity
and more participatory. His goal: to open
up the Games as widely as possible,
enabling everyone who would like to share
in this unique adventure to be part of it
and inspiring them to take part in sport.
Tony Estanguet grew up in a family that
took part in a range of sports and in a
small club in the Pyrenees. It was here
that his commitment to promoting sport,
participation and its values took root.
Role in brief:
The Paris 2024 President is responsible for
the project’s ambition, identity, funding
and successful delivery. Liaising with the
Paris 2024 ecosystem, he mobilises and
leads the network of stakeholders from
the sporting movement, public sector
and business world. He represents the
project in relation to the general public.

In January 2021, this team moved into its new headquarters,
Pulse. This innovative building symbolises and embodies
Paris 2024’s strong local roots in Seine-Saint-Denis, and
reflects its ambitions for Games that set new environmental
and social standards. Focused on sound stewardship and
sustainability, it sources 100% renewable electricity through
EDF and has innovative arrangements from Coca-Cola to
achieve the target for zero single-use plastics. The other
initiatives adopted include using fresh produce (80% of the
food supplied) and ensuring the responsible management of
food waste (redistribution, collection and methanisation).

SOLIDEO is the public industrial and
commercial establishment (EPIC) tasked
with funding, developing and supervising
the delivery of the facilities, designed
and built to be transformed into homes,
offices and other amenities from 2025. It
operates as both the project manager for
several key developments for the Games,
including the Olympic and Paralympic Village
development zone (ZAC), and the project
manager supervisor for many other projects.
It has a total budget of €3.6 billion, with
€1.5 billion contributed by the French State
and local and regional authorities, combined
with €2.1 billion of private funding from
the real estate developers’ programmes.
The organisation budget, led by Paris 2024,
is focused on the planning, organisation
and delivery of the Games. This €3.9 billion
budget is funded almost exclusively (97%)
through private sector revenues, from
the IOC, its corporate partners, tickets
for the Games and even licences, with
the remaining 3% contributed by public
funding and allocated to the Paris 2024
Paralympic Games. These revenues make
it possible to fund all of the expenses
relating to the organisation of the Games:
venue hire, development and operations,
organisation of the competitions, hosting of
the delegations, athlete accommodation and
transport, security inside the competition
venues, opening and closing ceremonies, etc.

PARIS 2024
REVENUES SECURED, BUDGET UNDER CONTROL
In 2021, revenues were 6% higher than
forecast, climbing to €264 million,
compared with the €248.1 million
initially planned in the budget.
High levels of revenues were generated thanks
to the many licensing agreements signed as well
as the marketing agreement set up in 2021.
Expenditure for the year came in significantly
below budget at €235.7 million, around 24%
lower than the €308.3 million expected,
with €72.6 million of savings achieved,
including €57.9 million on operating
expenditure and €14.7 million on unused
provisions for contingencies. This reflects
various adjustments made during the year,
linked in particular to the impact of the
health context on certain initiatives.
At 31 December 2021, five functional
departments accounted for around 90% of
expenditure: the Human Resources Department,
with payroll-related costs for all of the Paris
2024 employees; the Administration and
Finance Department, with rent, overheads,
legal costs and foreign exchange hedging;
the Technology Department, with the
information systems relating to the Games and
all of the communications technologies; the
Commercial Department, which covers all of the
royalties to be paid to the holders of the Olympic
and Paralympic marks; and the Infrastructure
Department, which is responsible for the major
investments in the temporary infrastructures.
The partnership programme, which aims to cover
around one third of funding for the budget to
organise the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic
Games, is continuing to move forward despite
the health and economic context. Since the first
partnership agreement was signed in September
2018, a total of €714 million had been secured
by the end of December 2021, representing
65% of the domestic partnerships budget.
By the end of 2021, 61% of the total
revenues had already been secured.
The multi-year commitments represent
only 25% of the budget to date.

all volunteers and are appointed based
on their skills and expertise managing
complex projects or very large events.
In 2021, the Audit Committee
continued to carry out its work,
supported by the expertise of each
of its members. The Committee
analysed and provided its opinion
on the financial aspects – accounts
and budget. The Committee
also focused on the conditions
for organising the Games and
particularly the implementation of
the event delivery model, aimed at
further strengthening the venues’
involvement in the organisation of
the Games, as well as the progress
made with partnerships, which
are vital to the event’s success.

MAIN ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN 2021
PARIS 2024 IS COMMITTED TO
ENSURING THAT ALL GAMES
PROJECTS ARE CARRIED OUT
IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS
SPECIFIC RULES AND VALUES.
2021 was marked by the strengthening of
best practices within Paris 2024, with:
THE ORGANISING COMMITTEE
CONTINUED WORKING
AROUND TWO PRINCIPLES
THAT GUIDE ALL OF ITS
ACTIONS: TRANSPARENCY
AND COMPLIANCE.
• Organisation of key moments for the
Compliance Department to raise awareness
among all Paris 2024 employees
• C
ompulsory training for new
arrivals on the compliance and
ethical rules to be respected
• Dedicated address enabling all employees
to submit questions concerning
compliance and ethics in their dayto-day activities at Paris 2024
• Updating the best practices guide,
which now includes issues relating to
personal data and online gambling
• Appointment of a personal
data protection officer
3 - OUR GAME PLAN
›
3.4 - OUR TACTICS
Support for projects to ensure their
success in terms of ethics was a priority,
reflected in the following developments:
• Prevention of conflicts of interest, building
awareness among employees with exposure
and setting up a declaration of interests
for employees with the most exposure
• Analysis of integrity infringement risks,
with an action plan to address them
• Whistleblowing procedure
shared with all employees
• Targeted audits making it possible to ensure
compliance with internal procedures
Lastly, several activities were inspected
from various angles, including:
• The annual accounts, certified without
any reservations or observations
• Regular controls by the French National
Audit Office (Cour des Comptes) and
the French Anti-Corruption Agency
• French authority for economic and
financial verifications (CGEFI) approval
for key spending commitments
• Declaration of the activities of interest
representatives and the interests and assets
of key executives with the French High
Authority for Transparency in Public Life

LAUNCHING THE DETAILED PLANNING
OF THE CELEBRATIONS AND CEREMONIES
WITH ITS ADOPTION OF THE
INNOVATIVE CONCEPT FOR
THE OLYMPIC GAMES OPENING
CEREMONY, PARIS 2024 TOOK
A MAJOR STEP FORWARD
WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF ITS
CELEBRATION STRATEGY.
Building on this strong progress, the
Organising Committee will launch the
detailed planning phase for all of the
celebrations and ceremonies that will bring
the Games to communities throughout
the country. This work will focus on three
main challenges. The first is to develop the
creative concept for the ceremonies and to
build the artistic team. Paris 2024 will also
unveil the concepts for the other ceremonies,
including the Opening Ceremony for the
Paralympic Games. The second is to launch
work to map out the route for the Torch
Relay, which will pass through a large number
of territories, and select the host cities in
line with the criteria set by Paris 2024.
4 - OUTLOOK AND CHALLENGES FOR 2022
›
4.1 - CELEBRATION AND PARTICIPATION
Lastly, the third challenge is to finalise the
strategy for celebrations in the city, based on
the experience in 2021 and the consultation
processes underway with the various
stakeholders. This work will make it possible
to clarify the organisational conditions
and support for the municipalities.
The strategy will be presented to the
Paris 2024 Executive Board in July 2022.
Opening up the Games to everyone and
offering unforgettable, accessible and
sustainable celebrations also involves
providing an outstanding spectator
experience. This experience starts from
the moment that they buy tickets for the
Games: 2022 will see a major milestone
because, in spring, Paris 2024 will present
its ticketing policy and its key stages,
including the opening date for sales.
To offer a unique spectator experience,
Paris 2024 will carry out specific work
on various aspects, including the
spectator journey during the Games, in
the venues and the areas around them.
The aim will be to draw up a coherent
vision and identify each stage in the
experience with a view to optimising it.
Lastly, the Observer Programme for
the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic
Winter Games, then the Birmingham 2022
Commonwealth Games, will enable
the Paris 2024 delegation to continue
building up more in-depth knowledge
of the operational issues involved, while
further strengthening its relations with
the Olympic and Paralympic ecosystem.

4.1 - CELEBRATION AND PARTICIPATION
While the construction work launched will
continue to move forward, other projects will
get underway in 2022 under the guidance
of SOLIDEO, with the foundation stone to
be laid for the sailing venue in Marseille for
instance. Alongside this, Paris 2024 will aim
to finalise the contractual framework for
new Venue Use Agreements (VUAs) with the
venue owners, while moving forward with
negotiations to sign the first contracts with
the event delivery entities (i.e. EDM tenders),
stabilising the responsibilities matrix and
setting up framework agreements. The
Organising Committee will be working
to launch and award several major calls
for expression of interest and tenders,
including overlay facilities, logistics and
security technology and equipment.

Following on from 2021, the planning of
the various services and operations will
be stepped up in order to consolidate the
Games delivery framework. Starting off
with the competition schedule: following the
programmes for the Olympic and Paralympic
sports, which have now been approved,
Paris 2024 can finalise the schedule for
each day and session throughout the
Games, liaising with Olympic Broadcasting
Services and the International Federations
in particular. The routes for the road events
(cycling, marathon) will also be clarified and
approved. In terms of test events, based
on the classification of these activities and
the provisional schedule defined in 2021,
Paris 2024 will draw up a detailed matrix
that clearly sets out the priority areas for
testing. The Organising Committee will
launch operational planning for the tests,
which will start up in summer 2023.

Lastly, Paris 2024 will be launching individual and

enable them to assess the competition venues and get
information on the organisation of the Games. Paris 2024
will also continue to set up agreements for the International
Dignitary Programme with the French Ministry for Europe and
Foreign Affairs to cover all of the operational considerations
associated with welcoming heads of state, sovereigns,
government leaders and sports ministers during the Games.

While 1,300 businesses are already working on the
Games, new tenders will be opened up in 2022 in
key sectors: transport, Village furniture, fixtures and
equipment, cleaning and waste management, events,
construction, signage, organisation of the
ceremonies, security and medical services. These will
offer opportunities for French businesses, and particularly
very small businesses, SMEs and social enterprises,
through the innovative arrangements put in place.

CONTINUING TO ROLL OUT PROGRAMMES
TO OPEN UP THE GAMES AS WIDELY AS POSSIBLE
The energy of the Games could already
be seen in 2021. In 2022, it will become
even stronger thanks to the growing
number of initiatives and the deployment
of new engagement programmes in
conjunction with the stakeholders of
the Olympic and Paralympic project.

Club Paris 2024 will continue to expand
its community by offering experiences to
take part in sport, win rewards and connect
members of the public and athletes.
Further entries for the Mass Participation
Marathon will be on offer and Club Paris 2024
members will have access to a range of
benefits, including the possibility of applying
for the volunteers programme before it
goes live for members of the public.
4 - OUTLOOK AND CHALLENGES FOR 2022
›
4.1 - CELEBRATION AND PARTICIPATION
Thanks to Terre de Jeux 2024,
the territories and the sporting
movement will continue to be part
of the key moments from the Games,
including the Olympic and Paralympic
Week and the Olympic Day.
They will also help develop participation
in sport among their target audiences
thanks to the specific tools and
programmes offered (e.g. active
design, renovation of facilities, etc.).
and developing the engagement platform.
A communications campaign will also be
launched with a view to raising awareness
and engaging with potential candidates.
The network of Terre de Jeux 2024
ambassadors will continue to be
extended and a first major international
activation event will be held on 6 April.
The unveiling of the Olympic and
Paralympic mascots will be one of the key
moments for the end of 2022 and the end-ofyear holidays: the Games will become part of
the day-to-day lives of people across France.
One of the key developments in 2022 will
be the rollout of the volunteers programme,
based on the strategy approved in 2021.
The year will include a number of key
milestones before the official opening
of the application period at the start of
2023: ensuring coordination with the
recruitment programmes in the various
communities, supporting the sourcing
of candidates by the Terre de Jeux 2024
local and regional authorities, the sporting
movement and the Paris 2024 partners,
Lastly, the launch of the dedicated
platform for calls for projects will make
it possible to further strengthen the
programme of events and activities
planned for the Cultural Olympiad by
awarding a label to initiatives that
promote the links between sport, art
and culture. One of the challenges for
2022 will be to work with stakeholders
to identify the projects that will help
bring their region and its communities
to life during the Games period.

PARIS 2024
MOVING FORWARD WITH OUR COMMITMENTS
TO SUSTAINABILITY AND TO SPORT'S
ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSFORMATION
While the carbon strategy was rolled out
in 2021, 2022 will see Paris 2024 continue
working towards its goals and taking on
new challenges in order to transform the
model for the Games. The first carbon offset
projects will be deployed across France. Three
major objectives have been set: finalising
the sustainable food and beverage strategy,
developing the circular economy strategy
and launching the Organising Committee’s
ISO 20121 certification process.
In terms of the circular economy, Paris 2024
carried out a pioneering exercise to estimate
its direct materials footprint. The Organising
Committee quantified its forecasts for the
resources that it will consume to carry out
its activities between now and 2024, as
well as during and after the Games. This
initiative identified all of the equipment,
raw materials, goods, finished products,
consumables, etc. that will be leased,
purchased or manufactured for the Games.
Lastly, Paris 2024 will be launching the
procedure to achieve ISO 20121 certification,
which is awarded to major event organisers
that adopt best practices to ensure effective
control over their economic, environmental
and social impacts. Within this framework,
the Organising Committee will be able to
ensure alignment with the highest standards
in these areas and leave a legacy framework
that will inspire future organisers.
This has given Paris 2024 a unique tool
enabling it to plan ahead, manage and
track its material assets. This work is
presented within a Resource Management
Plan, which will serve as a guide for
Paris 2024: assessment, forecasts and
definition of different scenarios for
resource management, conclusions,
recommendations and action plan.
4 - OUTLOOK AND CHALLENGES FOR 2022 ›
4.2 - LEGACY AND SUSTAINABILITY
Paris 2024 has identified the most significant
categories: three quarters of the resources
identified concern two main activities –
construction work and temporary facilities.
In terms of the number of products
involved, three activities will use significant
levels of resources: merchandising,
packaging and sports facilities.
To meet the challenges with resource
management, Paris 2024 will continue rolling
out its strategy in 2022 and will set up an
internal governance structure to manage
and monitor the volume of resources used.
Food Vision
24
goals supporting the
environmental and social
responsibility of products
and services.
With a total of 13 million meals and
snacks served during the Games at the
40 competition venues simultaneously,
the first challenge for the Organising
Committee is operational. To deliver
on its commitments, Paris 2024 aims to
offer all audiences a high-quality, healthy,
tasty and environmentally responsible
food and beverage service, showcasing
French cuisine and produce, which is a key
commitment. Following a consultation
process carried out in 2021 with the entire
French food ecosystem, from production
through to waste management, Paris 2024
will finalise its Food Vision, incorporating
its commitments to a sustainable food and
beverage service, built around 24 goals
supporting the environmental and social
responsibility of products and services.
Once this Food Vision has been finalised,
Paris 2024 will work on its implementation,
in conjunction with its stakeholders, the
sectors concerned, its current partners,
such as Sodexo, and future partners,
as well as a range of experts, including
nutritionists and members of the
Environmental Transformation Committee.

↓ RAMPING UP OUR ACTION TO TACKLE SEDENTARY LIFESTYLES
2022 will offer opportunities to
encourage as many people across France
as possible to become more active.
The focus will once again be on schools
and communities. Working with the French
Ministry of National Education, Youth and
Sport, Paris 2024 will continue to put in
place the programme for 30 minutes of
daily physical activity in primary schools,
with the government targeting a nationwide
rollout by 2024. Since January 2022,
supplementing the educational resources
available on the generation2024.org
platform, the schools involved are being
provided with sports and education
kits, funded jointly by the French
National Sports Agency (ANS). The aim
is for 100% of the schools involved in this
initiative to have received a kit by June. The
sixth Olympic and Paralympic Week (2429 January 2022) will offer an opportunity
to take stock of this initiative’s deployment
in 7,000 schools since September 2020.
This week will be another key moment
for building engagement and awareness
among students, throughout France, around
the role of sport to take action for the
climate and environmental protection.
The promotion of participation in sport
and physical activity throughout France
will continue to be strengthened around
several initiatives that are already
underway. Working with the French National
Agency for Territorial Cohesion (ANCT),
Paris 2024 will ramp up the promotion
of active design and the distribution of
its operational guide across the regions,
focusing in particular on Terre de Jeux 2024
towns and cities that are involved in
the Action Cœur de Ville programme.
Starting in 2022, 100 Action Cœur de Ville
local and regional authorities awarded
the Terre de Jeux 2024 label will be
supported by Cité du Design de SaintÉtienne, which is specialised in this field, and
the ANCT. Projects focused on community
sports facilities will continue to be funded
under the agreement with the ANS.
Actions will also be taken around a
third key pillar in 2022: “Moving more
at work”. Following on from the study
by the French National Observatory for
Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour
(ONAPS) commissioned by MEDEF and
highlighting the benefits of exercise in the
workplace, Paris 2024 will support the
introduction of warm-up sessions and
sports initiatives at the construction sites
for the Olympic and Paralympic Village
and Media Cluster, working with SOLIDEO.
104
Three objectives have been set with a
view to maximising the Fund’s impact. The
first is to jointly fund two flagship projects:
the Learn to Swim programme, which will
build on its successful trial from summer
2021, and the Generation 2024 coupons.
This initiative, jointly funded by Paris 2024
and the CNOSF, offers introduction to
sports sessions in Generation 2024 schools
as part of their PE and sports classes,
led by sports clubs. It will make a major
contribution to the One School - One Club
programme led by the French Ministry of
National Education, Youth and Sport.
4 - OUTLOOK AND CHALLENGES FOR 2022 ›
4.2 - LEGACY AND SUSTAINABILITY
The second objective is to launch support
for the winning projects chosen by the
Fund (in addition to financial support), in
line with their needs, in order to help them
succeed and optimise their impact. This
support will be provided liaising closely with
the French National Olympic and Sports
Committee (CNOSF) in order to prepare
to ensure this initiative’s sustainability.
The third and final objective is to support
other eligible stakeholders with their
approach to submit their projects.

The support provided for the initiatives
led by the sporting movement, local
and regional authorities, and non-profit
organisations that are making sport a
tool for social impact in communities will
continue in 2022. A new call for projects
will be issued on 1 March so that more
initiatives can be developed. A second call
is planned for mid-June 2022 and will be
open to projects that would like to reapply.

the agreements set up with new partners
and licence holders. The selection

A groundbreaking hospitality model
will be deployed for the Paris 2024
Games, with a unique and centralised
official offering. Its global marketing will
be handled by an exclusive operator, On
Location (Endeavor Group), which holds
the hospitality rights for the Olympic
and Paralympic Games through to 2028.
Overseeing the programme and ensuring
the strategy’s implementation, Paris 2024
will benefit from the experience of a global
operator, combined with local expertise
and the Event Delivery Model strategy.
This integrated approach, ensuring better
efficiency and consistency with the services
provided for the various stakeholders,
will support the changes in the Olympic
model with a focus on legacy aspects.
