Paris 2024 is making a commitment to sustainable practices in all aspects of organizing the Games, including the use of digital technology. The procurement policy of Paris 2024 emphasizes responsible digital criteria for 100% of the technology tenders, with a significant weighting in the final rating (up to 20%). This highlights the importance of choosing more environmentally friendly options whenever possible.
As part of their efforts to reduce waste and promote sustainability, Paris 2024 is prioritizing leasing for over 70% of the equipment needed for the Games. This means that thousands of computers, phones, screens, and printers will have a second life after the Games, either through reuse or reconditioning depending on their condition. By opting for leasing, Paris 2024 is able to minimize the purchase of new equipment and promote a more sustainable approach to technology use.
Paris 2024 is setting a positive example for future events by demonstrating their commitment to promoting environmentally responsible practices in all aspects of organizing the Games. Through their initiatives, they are encouraging the adoption of more sustainable practices in the digital technology sector and helping to pave the way for a more sustainable future.
