People at the heart of the company: corporate social responsibility lives and breathes within the Group, above and beyond the simple application of legal texts. It is based on the Group’s historical values. The commitment to human respect is part of our DNA. Thus, 3 key actions have been implemented: a free canteen for local site workers, creation of a minimum salary (50% above the minimum required by South African law), waste management and recycling program, 26 different nationalities, almost 3,000 people on all the sites. For your information this contract, worth over 40 million euros, is historic in many ways. It is one of the largest contracts ever awarded by an Organising Committee to a single provider, and it is also one of the largest for GL events in the field of major sporting events.

The matches were played in ten venues, spread across virtually all of South Africa: Soccer City Stadium and Ellis Park Stadium (Johannesburg), Green Point Stadium (The Cape), Loftus Versfeld Stadium (Pretoria), Peter Mokaba Stadium (Polokwane), Royal Bakofeng Stadium (Rustenburg), Mangaung Stadium (Bloemfontein), Nelson Mandela Stadium (Port Elizabeth), Moces Mabhida Stadium (Ethekwini) and Mbombela Stadium (Nelspruit).
