The company, headquartered in Paris, will work alongside the bid to provide innovative construction solutions, ensuring Paris 2024 is the most sustainable and environmentally managed Games in history.
The partnership was signed in Paris today by Bouygues Construction CEO Philippe Bonnave and Paris 2024 CEO Etienne Thobois. Also present were city Mayor Anne Hidalgo, IOC member Guy Drut, Bouygues Bâtiment Ile-de-France Président Bernard Mounier and Valérie Barlois-Leroux - Olympic fencing champion at Atlanta 1996 and now a Bouygues Construction project director. The joint initiative will be known as "Sustainable building with Shared innovation", with Bouygues pledging to "help Paris 2024 build the sustainable city of tomorrow."
With this new announcement, Paris 2024 now boasts 19 major French organisations as sponsors, 15 of whom serve as official partners and four as official suppliers. All of them are international leaders in their respective businesses, and together they are committed to supporting Paris’ vision to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
