The Legacy and Sustainability plan for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games — 51 GAMES THAT ARE SOCIALLY AND FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE In order to ensure that the Games set a benchmark, Paris 2024, Solideo and stakeholders signed three key documents: • the Paris 2024 Social Charter • the charter to promote local employment and community development • an agreement between Paris 2024, the Yunus Centre, Solideo and Les Canaux Paris 2024 adopted the Paris 2024 Social Charter on 19 June 2018 with Solideo, businesses, local authorities and representatives for all trade unions. This charter was drawn up and first signed at the bidding phase with the aim of establishing the social commitments that will guide the actions taken by Paris 2024 and Solideo in the build up to the Games. The commitments in this charter therefore set a new standard in labour relations for Paris 2024, companies and local authorities, but also Solideo and the 28 other public and private contracting parties tasked with preparing and organising the Paris 2024 Games. The commitments set out in the social charter include: • establishing governance and management that ensure the Paris 2024 Games set a benchmark in terms of social relations (advisory committee, trade union representatives, employee and employer representatives, etc.). It is a completely innovative form of governance that involves all national social partners in the organisation of the Games. Their role in the Monitoring Committee involves guiding, advising and alerting Paris 2024 and Solideo. This method is a legacy in itself as it positions the business world, represented by these social partners, as a leading player in organising the Games. Paris 2024’s Executive Board includes two social partners – an employee union and an employer federation; • supporting sustainable employment and guaranteeing decent working conditions for all employees working to prepare the Games (preventing all forms of discrimination, anticipating companies’ skills needs, etc.); • helping employees and volunteers organising the Games to develop their skills and secure their career paths; • making sport a driver of economic, social and solidarity development (e.g. ensuring a benchmark conversion of the Olympic Village and promoting sport at work). As part of the Social Charter, on 5 July 2018 Solideo and Paris 2024 adopted the charter to promote local employment and community development for construction projects related to the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. The charter breaks down the Paris 2024 Social Charter operationally for work on permanent Games facilities. Its objectives include: • supporting professional integration by allocating 10% of the hours that need to be worked to the long term unemployed, people in work-study programmes and residents of disadvantaged areas; • pledging to ensure that 25% of revenue from Games contracts goes to very small, small and medium-sized businesses and companies from the SSE; • committing to combat illegal labour, anti- competitive practices and discrimination to ensure good working conditions for its projects.
