Olympique Lyonnais Renews their Fair Play For Planet Engaged label
Already awarded the Fair Play For Planet** (FPFP) Engaged label in 2021, Olympique Lyonnais has had its label renewed until 2025.
Following an audit covering OL Group’s activities and infrastructures, Olympique Lyonnais obtained a final score of 77.22%, an increase of 4.22 points compared to 2021 (73%). This result confirms the FPFP** Engaged label for a further two years, and once again underlines the value of the OL Group’s overall environmental policy.
FPFP Label
Developed by Fair Play For Planet, the FPFP label is the first environmental label for clubs, venues and sporting events, designed around a global approach to the fight against climate change. The audit carried out in April 2023, assessed the club’s eco-responsible actions and best practices in three key areas: environmental protection, eco-performance and social responsibility.
With an average score higher than that of the other organizations awarded the label, Olympique Lyonnais is pursuing its strategy of integrating responsible practices compatible with the ecological transition. Since the first label was awarded, further progress has been made, including :
- A tangible reduction in energy and water consumption
- Raising awareness of how to get to the stadium and promoting eco-friendly alternative means of transport with Stadium Go on match days, and En Covoit Grand Lyon for employees’ home-work journeys
- Awareness-raising workshops on sexual violence, harassment and hazing with Colosse aux Pieds d’Argile, for the training centre
- The creation of internal CSR working groups with volunteer employees…
Areas for improvement have also been identified in order to pursue this eco-responsible commitment and achieve the minimum score of 80% required to obtain the FPFP*** Confirmed label.
For the record, the calculation reference framework produced in cooperation with ADEME, the French Agency for Ecological Transition is in particular based on the 17 sustainable development goals adopted by the UN, on the charter of 15 commitments for event organizers and on the charter of 15 commitments for facility managers launched by the Ministry of Sport in 2017.
