HERE ARE THE 2024 RESPONSIBLE COMMITMENTS
BRINGING SPORTS INTO LIFE by organizing an event committed to eco-friendly, social, and solidarity-based actions, within A CONTINUOUS TRAJECTORY OF ECO-RESPONSIBLE ACTIONS: this is the CSR approach of the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon."
An event committed for many years, the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon has been a signatory since 2017, under the aegis of the Ministry of Sports and WWF, of the first Charter of 15 eco-responsible commitments for Major International Sporting Events (GESI). This charter, written under the guidance of the Ministry of Sports and WWF, is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations, adapted to the sports event industry.
This charter was updated and expanded in 2021 in a spirit of continuous improvement. The commitments cover, among other things, the management of our environmental impact with more responsible food and economy practices, sustainable mobility, waste reduction, the management of water and energy resources, the protection of natural spaces and biodiversity, as well as social and solidarity issues such as combating discrimination, promoting inclusion, solidarity, and education for sustainable development. This forms the framework within which the CSR approach of the event is situated, aiming for sustainable sport and striving to generate a positive impact on the society and environment in which we operate.
Alongside all of its stakeholders, the City of Paris, its partners, and all the runners—ambassadors of sport-health and sport-well-being—the Schneider Electric Paris Marathon is committed to a responsible marathon!
