Upon his appointment as president of the French Alps 2030 OCOG, Edgar Grospiron announced his intention to be restrained in managing the budget and environmental impact. These are challenges he will discuss this Wednesday with the CGT Savoie, which is working on the development of a social and environmental charter for the Winter Games. It is very important that a social charter be shared with social partners., he says to Free Games. First, It was done by Paris 2024 and I think it's a very good thing.. We need to have as many people as possible on board in a project like this. For prevent social movements, to prevent potential misunderstandings, it is good that we can be aligned in what we do with a charter constructed with them. »
« Everything went very well at Paris 2024, it was a lot of work for Bernard Thibault (who was co-chair of the Monitoring Committee of the Social Charter, signed by the trade unions, employers' organizations and local authorities), recalls the Olympic champion from Albertville. I hope we will get to also work with the people who will pilot this social charter, in the same way that they worked with Paris. I don't see how we wouldn't find the same common grounds. "The preservation of the mountains, in an increasingly tense climatic context, will logically be closely scrutinized." We will be challenged on CSR aspects, on our social, economic and environmental responsibility. It's normal, says Edgar Grospiron. Nothing will happen easily or with the snap of a finger. It's up to us to ensure that we protect the interests of the Olympic Movement, while respecting the planet and our budgets. »
