The Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games provided an exceptional showcase for GL events’ expertise, demonstrating our ability to manage events of such magnitude while pushing the boundaries of responsible and sustainable practices.
As an Official Partner, we successfully tackled the most complex challenges, while contributing to the legacy of the Games and enhancing France’s global visibility long after the competitions.

MASTERFUL COORDINATION

GL events deployed its teams across more than 60 sites simultaneously, ensuring smooth and efficient management of the infrastructure required for the Games. By providing 70% of the temporary installations, including 160,000 seats in grandstands designed, manufactured, and installed to the highest international standards, we showcased our logistical and technical expertise. This expertise was not only the result of our internal teams but also of our ability to convey these high standards to our network of subcontractors, ensuring consistent quality and precision across all sites.

 

 

 

AN EXCEPTIONAL PROJECT

The Château de Versailles was one of the standout projects of the Games. GL events was entrusted with the full setup to host 19 equestrian events. We installed three grandstands capable of seating 16,300 spectators in a historic and iconic setting, while meticulously respecting the heritage requirements of the site.

BESPOKE SERVICES

In addition to the infrastructure, GL events also provided numerous hospitality services during the Games, ensuring a unique experience for guests, partners, and the public. This aspect highlighted our expertise in delivering tailored event management, while adhering to sustainability and efficiency requirements.
 

STRATEGIC COLLABORATION

To meet the electrical needs of the sites, we collaborated with Loxam, ensuring the design, assembly, disassembly, maintenance, and operation of temporary electrical installations across more than 55 sites, including strategic areas such as the Broadcast Center. We provided clean and reliable energy, in line with the Games' ecological objectives.
 

AN ACCELERATED CSR DYNAMIC

The Paris Games represented an opportunity for GL events to push our boundaries in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), accelerating a well-established dynamic. Our infrastructure was designed with a circular economy in mind: 100% of the materials used were repurposed, reused, or recycled. By integrating sustainable solutions into every step of our projects, we adhered to strict environmental requirements while preserving biodiversity on sensitive sites.
 

A COMMITMENT TO THE LEGACY OF THE GAMES

Beyond the Games themselves, GL events sought to contribute to the lasting legacy of this historic event. As an Official Partner, we played a key role in promoting France’s influence, contributing to sustained visibility and impact long after the competitions ended. Our long-term commitment is reflected in our ability to leave a positive and responsible mark, both nationally and internationally.
