As the Worldwide Information Technology Partner and Top Partner of the Olympic Games, Atos Origin is committed to helping the IOC and the Organizing Committees to deploy technological solutions to shrink the Games' carbon footprint. This is happening in many different ways from reducing paper consumption, reducing the amount of hardware and power consumption, and cutting down on travel.

For the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Atos Origin has developed and will operate the first online Volunteer platform. This will process more than 50,000 applications from people in 100 countries, thus reducing travel to physical locations, paper consumption and the associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In another first, the online Accreditation System is one of Atos Origin’s many initiatives to deploy technological solutions that help the Vancouver organizing committee deliver a more sustainable Games and significantly reduce the amount of paper used during the Games. Previously, applications for accreditation were printed and sent around the world.

At London 2012, Atos Origin will leverage a number of technology innovations to improve access to information and with the objective to deliver the most sustainable Olympic Games yet. For the first time, we will implement a new solution, designed together with the IOC, – the Olympic Data Feed - to consolidate all data feeds to the newswires, websites and London 2012 intranet into a single solution to provide a more sustainable and efficient service.
