ACTING WITH INTEGRITY AND TRANSPARENCY: THE ETHICS COMMITTEE

We are applying the highest standards of ethics and transparency to deliver an exemplary and creative Games. These standards guide everything we do each day at Paris 2024. That’s why we have included an Ethics Committee within the Organising Committee for the first time in the history of the Games.

The Paris 2024 Ethics Committee is tasked with overseeing the Paris 2024 ethics policy and ensuring employees comply with the individual and collective values that underpin our work at Paris 2024. It is also involved in preventing conflicts of interest.

The Ethics Committee is made up of six independent members appointed by top-level French institutions and the OECD, as well as two observer members appointed by the French parliament.

Chair

Jean-Marc Sauvé, honorary vice-president of the French Council of State, appointed by the vice-president of the Council of State.

Members

Pauline Caby, deputy, Defender of rights.

Solène Moracchini, advocate general at the criminal division of the Court of Cassation, appointed by the French Anti-Corruption Agency.

Nicola Bonucci, director for legal affairs at the OECD, appointed by the Secretary-General of the OECD.

Alain Lacabarats, honorary president of the Court of Cassation, appointed by the first president of the Court of Cassation.

Patrick Lefas, honorary president of the Court of Accounts, appointed by the first president of the Court of Accounts.

Aude Amadou, member of parliament for the Loire Atlantique department, and Michel Savin, senator for the Isère department.

Having the tools to act with integrity

We know the only way to build the best Games that will bring communities together is to ensure our employees, members, volunteers and everyone else at Paris 2024 is pulling in the same direction. We are all committed to playing our part and setting a high example in every way possible.

The Executive Board adopted the Paris 2024 Code of Ethics on 17 April 2019. The Code underlines the main principles—integrity, neutrality and fair play—that everyone organising the Games is required to apply in order to ensure the Games meet uncompromising ethical standards. The Code is specifically designed to anticipate and prevent conflicts of interest, ensure integrity in everyday behaviour, establish rules on accepting gifts and invitations, pay particular attention to data protection, and prevent any kind of manipulation of sporting competitions.
