Engineering at the heart of our strategy

Onet, a services and engineering group, played a crucial role in the 2024 Olympic Games by delivering its duty to advise the organizing committee and its various customers.

From the outset of the project, our steering team was involved to anticipate and respond to specific needs, ensuring smooth and efficient management. Resource sizing was continuously adjusted throughout the project, in line with evolving requirements, to meet the growing challenges of this international event.

This flexible and proactive approach enabled Onet to actively contribute to the success of the Olympic Games, and to guarantee the success of various complex operations in cleaning, security, hospitality, logistics and airport services.

A sense of community: the key to success

To ensure the success of operations during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, Onet mobilized its teams at every level of the company. From the support teams at head office, through our regional agencies throughout France, to our agents in the field, every employee made an active contribution to this extraordinary event, deploying exemplary energy.

The Events Activities Department has been managing and coordinating this project since 2022, with our various customers and all our regional departments involved. The Information Systems Department developed traceability and planning tools for efficient resource management during the event.

At the same time, Prodim, our central purchasing agency, was actively involved in delivering equipment within extremely tight deadlines, thus meeting the requirements of the event. The Human Resources Department, meanwhile, carried out a massive recruitment campaign, particularly in Paris, to reinforce the teams dedicated to cleaning and security.

This joint effort not only demonstrated our expertise in cleanliness, security, reception, logistics and airport services, but also affirmed our ability to manage large-scale events.

The commitment of our teams, combined with their know-how, has been a determining factor in the success of our mission: to help create ever healthier, safer and more reliable environments.

Our missions included managing the flow of trucks, installing the container park at the end of the truck logistics, assembling and installing furniture, handling equipment and making the necessary adjustments during the sporting events.
