Notes to Editors:
About the Tokyo 2020 Sponsorship Programme: The Olympic sponsor programme is divided into four
separate categories, with the IOC’s The Olympic Partner (TOP) programme constituting the very highest
level of Olympic sponsorship. The Worldwide TOP Partners who support the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020
are Coca-Cola, Alibaba, Atos, Bridgestone, Dow, GE, McDonald’s, Omega, Panasonic, Procter and
Gamble, Samsung, Toyota and Visa.
The three remaining categories are designated for domestic sponsors. The highest domestic tier
comprises Gold Partners, the second tier consists of Official Partners and the third tier is made up of
Official Supporters. Domestic sponsors will also be core components of Tokyo 2020’s Marketing
Programme, and until 2020 they will be indispensable partners both for the successful delivery of the
Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games and as partners of Japan’s Olympic and Paralympic teams.
Accordingly, they will be accorded the rights to use Tokyo 2020’s Olympic and Paralympic designations
and imagery including emblems, mascots and slogans. In collaboration with all sponsors who take part
in the Marketing Programme, the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee will work to contribute to a brighter
tomorrow for both Japan and the world.
