Greening the Games: Sustainability at the Paris Olympics 2024 | Blog

Mega events should and could represent the best of us in sustainability!

Mega events like the Olympics are celebrated for bringing the world together and showcasing the pinnacle of human achievement, but they also carry a significant environmental burden…

The vast scale of these events demands extensive resources, from the construction of venues to the transportation of athletes, officials, and spectators, all of which contribute to a substantial carbon footprint. This environmental impact extends beyond carbon emissions, affecting local communities through resource consumption, waste generation, and sometimes even displacement.

The need to incorporate sustainability into these events has never been more pressing. As the world grapples with the realities of climate change, events like the Olympics have the potential to either exacerbate the problem or contribute positively to global efforts. If deliberately responsible, mega events can leave a lasting positive legacy on the world, promoting sustainable practices, boosting local economies, and enhancing community well-being. Conversely, managing irresponsibly can lead to environmental damage, financial waste, and even greenwashing.

A recent example is the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which advertised itself as the first carbon-neutral tournament of its kind. Despite these claims, experts raised serious doubts, suggesting that the goal was achieved more through creative accounting, than through meaningful reductions in carbon emissions. This has underscored the importance of transparency and genuine commitment in sustainability efforts, particularly for events of this scale.

The Paris Olympics 2024, set in the same city where the historic Paris Agreement on climate change was adopted, represented a critical opportunity to demonstrate how large-scale events could reduce their environmental impact. By prioritizing sustainability, the games now finished, can set a new standard for future events, ensuring that they contribute to the fight against climate change rather than detract from it.

A look back: sustainability in past Olympics

The Olympic Games in Paris have made notable strides in sustainability, each building on the lessons of its predecessors. The 2000 Sydney Olympics emphasized energy efficiency and recycling, while the 2012 London Olympics excelled in water conservation, sourcing 40% of its water from recycled rainwater.

The 2020 Tokyo Olympics introduced hydrogen-powered transport and used recycled materials in infrastructure, but still faced criticism for its carbon footprint. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics showcased innovative technologies like natural CO2 refrigeration and solar power, yet struggled with the environmental demands of winter sports. Despite these advances, challenges such as high costs, balancing sustainability with attendee experience, and the difficulty of accurately measuring progress and impact persist, in the process making the journey towards seeing a truly sustainable ‘mega event’ complex and ongoing. These efforts highlight both the progress and challenges in making such large-scale events truly sustainable, setting the stage for the ambitious goals of the Paris Olympics 2024.

Paris 2024: a blueprint for sustainable games

The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 is estimated to have produced 2.73 million tonnes of CO2, despite having almost no spectators. The Paris Olympics 2024 has set an ambitious target to be the greenest games yet, aiming for a 50% reduction in carbon emissions, compared to the average of London 2012 and Rio 2016. This commitment to sustainability is woven into every aspect of the event, from the construction of venues to transportation and energy use.

Key measures include:

  • Use of existing infrastructure: Paris 2024 will use 95% existing or temporary venues, reducing the need for new construction and minimizing the environmental impact associated with building new facilities.
  • Renewable energy: The games will be powered by 100% renewable energy, with a focus on local sources like wind and solar power.
  • Sustainable transportation: The event will promote the use of public transportation, cycling, and walking for spectators, and electric or hybrid vehicles for official transport. Over 80% of venues are within 10km of the Olympic Village and all are served by public transport. The vehicle fleet has been trimmed by 40% compared to previous games, with electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles.
  • Implementing a circular economy strategy: This is to be based on three principles: using fewer resources, making better use of resources, and ensuring resources have a second life after the games. For example, 75% of sports equipment will be rented or loaned, and 75% of screens, computers and printers will be rented.

The role of technology service partners in achieving sustainability:

Service providers play a crucial role in helping mega events like the Olympics achieve their sustainability goals. By leveraging advanced technologies and innovative solutions, these partners can significantly reduce the environmental impact of such large-scale events. For instance, information technology (IT) providers can optimize energy use through smart infrastructure management, utilizing data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor and adjust energy consumption in real-time. This not only reduces waste but also enhances the efficiency of operations across venues.

Cloud computing and virtualization technologies also enable organizers to minimize the need for physical infrastructure, reducing both the carbon footprint and the resources required for construction and maintenance. Additionally, IT service providers can offer robust carbon tracking and reporting tools, ensuring transparency and accuracy in measuring the event’s environmental impact. These tools are essential for validating sustainability claims and avoiding accusations of greenwashing.

Moreover, digital platforms powered by these providers can facilitate sustainable practices among attendees, such as promoting the use of public transportation or enabling waste reduction through digital ticketing and cashless transactions. IT services also enhance communication and coordination among stakeholders, ensuring that sustainability initiatives are effectively implemented and monitored throughout the event.

Key partners such as Atos, Deloitte, and Schneider Electric are already making significant contributions to the Paris Olympics 2024. Atos, as the Worldwide IT Partner, implementing DevSecOps practices and deploying nearly 600 containerized microservices, which reduce the need for physical servers and enhance operational efficiency.

Deloitte has entered a decade long partnership with the International Olympic Committee to digital transformation, sustainability, and DEI initiatives, including launching a maturity assessment tool to advance gender equality and inclusion in event planning. Schneider Electric, leveraging EcoAct, is helping the Games achieve their goals with carbon offset management and consulting. Deloitte provides strategic consulting to develop comprehensive sustainability strategies, and Salesforce helps manage stakeholder engagement and sustainability reporting. Together, these IT service providers are instrumental in turning ambitious sustainability goals into reality, ensuring that the Games are not only a showcase of athletic excellence but also a model for environmental stewardship.

The future of sustainable sports events:

The Paris Olympics 2024 are setting a new benchmark for sustainability in mega events, but this is only the beginning. As technology continues to advance, future Olympic Games, and other major sporting events will have even greater opportunities to reduce their environmental impact. Emerging technologies such as AI-driven energy management, advanced carbon capture methods, and more efficient digital platforms will enable even more sustainable practices.

Looking ahead, sustainability enablement technology services will not only reduce the carbon footprint of sports events, but also enhance the fan experience by providing real-time data on environmental impact, interactive platforms for eco-friendly engagement, and more. The future of sports is not just about breaking records on the field but also about setting new standards for environmental stewardship.

Conclusion

The Olympics have always represented the pinnacle of human capability and achievement, bringing together athletes and nations from across the globe in a celebration of excellence and unity.

The Paris Olympics 2024 are not just a stage for athletic prowess, but a platform to showcase the very best of what humanity can achieve in terms of sustainability. By partnering with leading technology and service providers, the organizers are demonstrating that it’s possible to host a world-class event while significantly reducing its environmental impact.

As these games have unfolded in front of our very eyes, now let them be a testament to our collective commitment to a sustainable future, where the spirit of competition is matched by a dedication to preserving our planet for generations to come. As the curtain has come down on the greatest spectacle on earth, these Olympics will now represent the normalizing of a people and planet optimistic mission.

Future-proofing Insurance: Embracing Sustainability in Insurance for a Resilient Future | Blog

Sustainability in insurance transcends traditional practices, weaving Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) elements into the core of day-to-day operations, thereby safeguarding the future of stakeholders and the planet. In this evolving industry, embracing sustainability is no longer optional but essential for mitigating climate risks, meeting regulatory demands, and ensuring long-term value in a world facing complex environmental and social challenges. Reach out to us to explore this topic further.

The shift toward sustainability in insurance

Sustainability is becoming increasingly critical in the insurance sector due to the escalating unpredictability of losses driven by climate change, economic instability, and social inequalities. As per a report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), in 2023 alone, the United States witnessed 25 climate-related disasters that each resulted in damages exceeding US$1 billion, nearly doubling the annual average from the previous five years and leading to 464 fatalities. Such extreme weather events, occurring in regions where they were previously uncommon, are compelling insurers to acknowledge their responsibility in environmental protection. Additionally, shifts in consumer behavior are influencing the move towards sustainable practices. A growing number of consumers, about 25%, are now willing to pay a premium for environmentally friendly products, such as electric vehicles and sustainably sourced clothing, expecting that the companies they patronize uphold similar ethical standards.

Regulatory changes are also pushing the insurance industry towards greater transparency and sustainability. In the first half of 2023, there were over 1,715 adjustments to the US state insurance regulations, many of which address climate issues. A notable example is the California Climate Risk Disclosure Survey, which requires insurers to disclose how they are managing climate-related risks. Moreover, entities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are preparing to enforce new mandates requiring climate risk disclosures, potentially impacting publicly traded insurance firms that do not proactively address climate change.

As a result, insurers have started developing and offering new products across personal, commercial, and specialty lines. In personal lines, companies have begun offering green property insurance, which covers eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient upgrades following a loss, as well as discounts for hybrid or electric vehicle owners to encourage sustainable transportation choices. In commercial lines, insurers in geographies like the US and EU now provide insurance for renewable energy projects and green building coverage, helping businesses transition to sustainable practices. These include coverage for renewable energy equipment, green construction materials, and tools to manage climate-related risks. Specialty lines see innovations driven by InsurTech, such as parametric insurance for climate risks and the use of IoT devices for real-time environmental monitoring, enhancing risk mitigation and encouraging eco-friendly behaviors.

Sustainable insurance in action

Insurers integrating sustainable practices into their value chains include:

  • AXA (2015), launching the AXA Climate School to educate clients on climate risks, enhancing client trust and risk management
  • Zurich Insurance Group (2017), initiating the Zurich Forest Project for reforestation, boosting their brand reputation and environmental impact
  • Allianz (2018), incorporating ESG factors into underwriting and investments, improving investment resilience and attracting ESG-conscious clients
  • Swiss Re (2019), ceasing re/insurance for the most carbon-intensive oil and gas companies, aligning with climate goals and reducing exposure to high-risk industries
  • Aviva (2020), setting a net-zero carbon target by 2040, enhancing long-term sustainability and appealing to eco-friendly investors
  • Munich Re (2021), investing in green bonds and applying ESG criteria to their investment portfolio, supporting sustainable projects and strengthening their market position in the green economy

Currently, while the integration of sustainability into corporate strategies is becoming crucial for many firms, the actual implementation of these strategies in a tangible way remains a very early stage for many companies. According to a global survey, 25% of insurers identified “grasping ESG-related regulations and guidelines” as their primary challenge in advancing their ESG initiatives. This was followed by 17% who cited “determining the most effective actions to take on ESG” as a key hurdle and 15% who pointed to “aligning ESG efforts with customer expectations” as a significant concern.

Challenges in implementing sustainable insurance

Besides the difficulties of managing risks in a world altered by climate change, the insurance sector also contends with issues arising from regulatory, operational, and market-related complexities.

  1. Regulatory uncertainty – Insurers need to navigate a complex web of local and international ESG-related regulations that can vary significantly from one jurisdiction to another. The lack of standardized regulatory frameworks makes it difficult for global insurance companies to implement uniform strategies across all markets. This regulatory complexity requires insurers to invest heavily in legal expertise and compliance functions to ensure they meet all applicable guidelines
  2. Lack of standardized metrics and data deficiency – The insurance industry relies heavily on accurate data to assess risks and set premiums. However, there is currently no universally accepted methodology for quantifying ESG risks, which complicates the integration of sustainability into traditional risk models. This lack of standardized data not only hinders the assessment and pricing of risks but also makes it difficult to track progress and measure the impact of sustainability initiatives
  3. Liability risks – One of the significant challenges for insurers in implementing sustainability is managing liability risks stemming from compensation claims related to climate change damages. As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, the potential for substantial claims also rises, impacting the liability side of insurers’ balance sheets. Additionally, there is an increased risk of litigation, with insurers potentially facing legal challenges for failing to manage or disclose climate-related risks adequately
  4. Affordability and availability of coverage – Affordability and availability of coverage pose significant challenges in implementing sustainability in the insurance industry. As climate change leads to more frequent and severe natural disasters, insurance costs rise, making coverage less affordable. High-risk areas, such as flood or hurricane-prone regions, for example, face higher premiums or loss of coverage, leaving communities vulnerable. This not only affects individual policyholders but also has broader economic implications, leading to underinsurance or no insurance in these zones
  5. Aligning sustainability with market and customer expectations – Insurers must balance the need to implement sustainable practices with the need to remain competitive and meet the expectations of their clients. This involves developing new insurance products and services that not only comply with ESG standards but also appeal to a market that is increasingly sensitive to sustainability issues

Shaping tomorrow’s insurance industry

In the insurance sector, several unpredictable developments stand out, including emerging risks such as an aging population, climate change, and cyber threats, along with the rise of the sharing economy affecting freelancer, auto, and home insurance markets and the integration of technology in the smart economy. Social factors, such as evolving consumer expectations for corporate responsibility and equitable services, also play a crucial role, as do governance issues like regulatory changes and corporate transparency. While accurately forecasting the future remains a challenge, identifying catalysts for market changes is possible. By combining historical data with industry insights, we can use a specifically designed model to construct various future scenarios. These scenarios illustrate potential outcomes and opportunities driven by key trends in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects under different conditions [Exhibit 1]. With this approach, we can strategize effectively, choosing paths that optimize financial gains, enhance social impact, or minimize risks.

From our analysis, the following key areas emerge:

  1. ESG data management: Centralized systems for collecting and analyzing ESG data help companies track their sustainability performance and identify areas for improvement. These systems enhance operational efficiency by automating data collection and reporting processes.

For instance, Walmart leverages an ESG data management system to track and report its sustainability performance, focusing on monitoring energy consumption, carbon emissions, and waste management

  1. Supply chain traceability: Advanced technologies like blockchain and IoT enable companies to monitor their supply chains in real-time, ensuring transparency and accountability from source to shelf. This helps in managing ethical sourcing and reducing the risk of supply chain disruptions.

For instance, Nestlé uses blockchain technology to track milk and palm oil supply chains, ensuring sustainable and ethical sourcing while providing transparency from origin to the final product

  1. Climate risk analytics: Predictive analytics tools assess the impact of climate change on business operations, enabling companies to proactively mitigate risks. These tools support scenario planning and help attract investment by demonstrating a commitment to managing environmental risks.

For instance, PepsiCo uses predictive analytics tools to evaluate the impact of climate change on agricultural supply chains. This allows the company to develop strategies to mitigate risks related to crop yields and water availability, ensuring long-term sustainability

  1. Circular economy practices: Embracing circular economy principles, such as using recycled materials and designing products for longevity, helps reduce waste and resource consumption.

For instance, SHEIN has launched a new apparel collection made from “deadstock,” the excess, unsold, and leftover fabric inventory that is typically discarded by fashion brands. SHEIN is utilizing Queen of Raw’s proprietary software, Materia MX, to source existing materials from brands and retailers looking to responsibly clear out their excess fabric inventory rather than have it go to waste in landfills

  1. Sustainable Consumer Experience: Digital labels and QR codes provide consumers with detailed information about the sustainability attributes of products, enhancing transparency and building brand loyalty.

For instance, Patagonia uses QR codes to provide customers with detailed information about product sustainability, enhancing consumer trust and reducing the need for single-use tags, thereby promoting a more sustainable consumer experience

  1. Waste minimization: Advanced inventory management systems and IoT sensors help companies monitor stock levels in real time, reducing waste from overstocking and spoilage.

For instance, Tesco uses IoT technology for real-time inventory tracking, reducing waste from overstocking and spoilage, enhancing sustainability by ensuring products are sold before expiration
