The partnership was presented at the press conference organized on February 19, 2026 by the City of Paris and Special Olympics France, in the presence of the unified teams involved in the men’s and women’s tournaments.
An international event for inclusion through sport
The Special Olympics Paris 2026 Unified Football World Cup will bring together teams from around the world to promote social inclusion through sport. Unified football brings together athletes with and without intellectual disabilities in a spirit of respect, solidarity and sharing.
By becoming an Official Partner of the event, Saur affirms its commitment to diversity and inclusion, values that its 15,000 employees carry on a daily basis and are deployed in the regions alongside its customers and partners.
Raising awareness of the preservation of water resources
Beyond supporting inclusion through sport, this partnership is also based on a strong objective of raising awareness of water-related issues. Throughout the competition, Saur will deploy educational activities with athletes, spectators and partners to promote responsible water consumption and everyday eco-gestures, in line with its mission as an essential service and its expertise as a world leader in water management.
For Saur, there is no sustainable performance without inclusion
At Saur, inclusion is based on a structured and managed system. In 2025, the Group signed an agreement with Agefiph to strengthen its actions in terms of recruitment, job retention and awareness.
Among the measures deployed:
- 100% of recruiters trained in the theme of disability;
- 100% of candidates mentioning an RQTH received an interview;
- individualised workstation adaptations (ergonomic equipment, accessibility tools, vehicle adaptations).
In 2024, the employment rate of people with disabilities increased by 11% compared to 2023 to reach 3.3%.
This dynamic reflects a growing mobilization of teams and a desire to anchor inclusion in managerial practices in the long term.
