A.S.O carries out its GHG assessments on the GCI platform
In 2021, A.S.O chose GCI to assess the carbon footprint of its events, starting with the Tour de France. Convinced by our precise solution and our ability to support them in their low-carbon strategy, A.S.O has continued its collaboration for other major events, including the Schneider Electric Marathon de Paris, the Dakar, the Lacoste Ladies Open de France, the Tour de France Femmes with Zwift...

Do you think decarbonizing your organization will improve its competitiveness?
We wish to continue to strive towards an increasingly eco-responsible organization, without denying the nature of our events, in particular their itinerant and popular nature. We are convinced that carbon footprints and the resulting decarbonization plans can enable us to continue to raise the profile of our events and thus improve their competitiveness, by involving our stakeholders (partners, local authorities, participants, the general public), who are increasingly demanding in this respect.
What are the key quantified results of your GHG assessment?
Our carbon footprints show that the biggest impacts of our events are linked to spectator and participant travel, as we organize popular "off-stadium" competitions.
Why did you decide to embark on a low-carbon transition?
A.S.O organizes its events throughout France and abroad. As a tenant of the spaces it uses, it is essential for A.S.O. to take care of its environment, and this requires a low-carbon strategy. The low-carbon strategy enables us to structure the areas for improvement and reduction that our events need to implement.
Why choose the GCI platform?
La plateforme GCI nous permet de piloter efficacement nos bilans carbone. Grâce à cette plateforme nous pouvons ouvrir le capot de nos évènements, comprendre quels sont les principaux postes d’émission carbone et réduire de manière organisée et structurée nos émissions de GES.
