On site, ENGIE is offering solutions to enable fans to remain connected throughout their day, with over forty fixed charging terminals, including five solar terminals for smartphones in the stadium. In addition, we are also providing visitors with around 500 portable charging disks (portable batteries with integrated charging cables), available from one of the many Information Desks within the stadium. Over 33,000 smartphones can be charged using this ENGIE service, making it the 2nd most used service by fans after the toilets.
Thanks to ENGIE, the French Open app is now available in Dark Mode
In 2022, ENGIE is strengthening its partnership with the French Open and the French Tennis Federation by developing a Dark Mode for the tournament app. Increasingly offered on apps and operating systems, this solution provides significant energy savings and better energy efficiency. In fact, it takes less energy for a black pixel to illuminate the screen, making it possible to reduce the battery percentage used by the screen by 63%.
By using the dark mode feature, the 800,000 users of the French Open app will contribute to directly reducing its environmental impact.
“Come and play on the clay at the French Open!”
At the French Open’s traditional “Children’s Day” on 21 May, ENGIE will give tennis fans the opportunity to play on one of the tournament’s official courts.
Among them, 200 children from the Fête Le Mur association, established by Yannick Noah, which the ENGIE Foundation has supported for 23 years, will show off their best moves on the tournament’s clay courts. This year, the children’s day will take place on Saturday 21 May.
Since 1999, the ENGIE Foundation has supported the “Fête le Mur” association, which provides activities in priority education zones thanks to the installation, at the foot of apartment blocks, of tennis courts and training walls so that young people from disadvantaged backgrounds can thrive by playing tennis. This association is present at the heart of around thirty disadvantaged neighbourhoods in France.
ENGIE has supported women’s tennis for the past 30 years
The Group also sponsors women’s tennis in France and has supported its development for the past 30 years. In order to contribute to the vitality of the women’s tennis circuit in France, the Group has developed the “ENGIE OPEN” label. In just over ten years, this label has enabled French female hopefuls to compete against the best foreign players in their category and to find their voice in their own country.
