The Parc des Princes switches its lights off for the planet

Club

On Saturday 30th March, the Parc des Princes took part in Earth Hour, the  largest citizens’ rally for the planet organised by the WWF. Every year, millions of people take part in the movement by switching off their lights, and thousands of iconic monuments are plunged into darkness for one hour. On Saturday, the lights were switched off in the Rouge & Bleu’s stadium from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.

 

In 2017, at the initiative of the French Ministry of Sport and of WWF France, around 30 organisers – including the company that manages the Parc des Princes, the SESE, which is 100% owned by Paris Saint-Germain – signed an eco-responsibility charter for large sports facilities and host sites.

 

This charter commits the Parisian club to a virtuous circle of improvement based on 15 specific commitments regarding sustainable food, waste reduction, community involvement and providing a quality reception for disabled visitors.

 

List of the charter’s 15 eco-responsible commitments:

  • A minimum of 50% sustainable food
