The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 110 Plan Héritage et Durabilité des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de Paris 2024 — 110 The first edition of Impact 2024 was a great success and showcased sports organisations’ flair for innovation. Well done to the 55 successful applicants and all the projects selected. This joint endeavour with Paris 2024, the French National Olympic and Sports Committee and the French Paralympic and Sports Committee will continue to grow in 2021. FRÉDÉRIC SANAUR, General Manager of the French National Sports Agency The Committee has ring-fenced a €52 million budget for the implementation of Paris 2024’s Environmental Excellence strategy, displaying its political will to host sustainable, environmentally friendly Games. The breakdown of the budget is as follows: • €15 million to ensure the Games are fully carbon neutral by offsetting any residual carbon emissions from the event; • €13 million to implement innovative environmental excellence policies (outlined in parts 1 and 2 of the present document); • €24 million to help Paris 2024’s departments fulfil the various environmental excellence objectives. Some of the costs – relating to the effective implementation of the responsible purchasing strategy and stringent environmental standards for the different projects – will be broken down operationally within the departments responsible for delivering the Games. For instance, this involves the use of responsible materials for temporary infrastructure and venues and obligations to reuse and recycle materials, the use of temporary power generated by renewable energy sources, the establishment of purchasing criteria for sustainable food (products awarded labels, short supply chains, agroecological practices, low-carbon and plant-based options, etc.), extra recycling requirements in terms of waste management, standards imposed on logistics operations, as well as the use of clean vehicles. It also includes audits of compliance with the responsible purchasing strategy and the integration of environmental considerations (in liaison with the purchasing department).
