Éco-Emballages is pleased to be environmental partner of the Tour de France and Paris-Nice, associating environmental values with the sports values of these events.

As Éco-Emballages wants to ensure the continuity of this gesture beyond households, the “I sort my rubbish here too” operation was launched. This is to help the organisers of general public events which have made the separate collection of refuse a priority of their environmental concerns.
By being associated with the Tour de France and Paris-Nice, Éco-Emballages is reinforcing its communication with regard to the general public and confirming its commitment as an essential player in the environmental sector.

The AG2R and the Mondiale Groups are merging in 2008 to become a major player in social and personal asset protection in France.
What could be more symbolic than to create a joint cycling team, which like any new organisation, has major objectives for the year to come. To be a partner of A.S.O. at the same time proves our desire to promote the values of solidarity, dynamism, innovation and audacity together, which are so important to both of the Groups and to the world of cycling.
Following the success encountered in 2007 by AG2R Prévoyance as an official Partner of the Tour de France for the fifth year in a row, and as a partner for all of the races organised by A.S.O. since 2004, it was very natural that the Mondiale would be associated with this new collaboration.
The objective of this undertaking aims to give both of our Groups a dynamic image, but also to allow our values and our skills to be better known in the field of pensions, savings and all of the life insurance and health products which contribute to people’s well-being.
In particular, this partnership is focused on the branding of 3 “information” motorbikes with the AG2R’s and the Mondiale’s colours, as well as 3 “regulator” motorbikes which will be responsible for recuperating sports information and controlling the flow of race vehicles during the Tour de France and for all of the season’s “major classics races”, which are organised by A.S.O.
