PwC Appointed Partner to Sochi 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Games

PwC and Sochi 2014

The XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games in the city of Sochi in 2014 are modern Russia’s chance to showcase itself to the world. PwC is extremely proud to have been entrusted by the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee to help plan, prepare and stage the Games – and to help deliver a larger legacy of socioeconomic development that the Games make possible.

An Agreement of Partnership between Sochi 2014 and PwC was signed by Sochi 2014 Organising Committee President Dmitry Chernyshenko and PwC Russia Advisory Managing Partner Robert Gruman on 23 March 2011 at an official ceremony in Krasnaya Polyana, Sochi. The signing ceremony was held on the final day of the 5th annual Coordination Commission visit by members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to the future site of the Games. Dmitry Kozak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, was also in attendance at the ceremony.

Dmitry Kozak, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, said:

“Today’s signing of a Partnership Agreement with PwC is a seal of quality for the Sochi Olympiad. I would like to express my gratitude to PwC for this contract, and also for the diverse and multifaceted activities that the firm carries out across the Russian Federation.

“The preparation and staging of the Games will be carried out much more effectively than they otherwise would be without the participation of PwC.”

What does PwC do for Sochi 2014?

PwC Russia is a Partner and the Official Professional Services Provider of the XXII Olympic Winter Games and XI Paralympic Winter Games to be held in the city of Sochi in 2014.

In this role, we provide consulting on the overall planning, preparation and staging of the Games. We also deliver a large number of specific professional services projects to support Sochi 2014 in several key areas: HR consulting, taxation, supply chain management, management consultancy, financial planning and budgeting, risk management and more.

An innovative approach to Games preparations

We're helping Sochi 2014 to pioneer a new approach to preparing the Games, implementing a project-oriented organization. Think of it as developing a "Sochi model" that can be applied to other mega-events.

We’re working closely with our counterparts at Sochi 2014 to help deliver an innovative, world class Games.

Supporting Sochi 2014 in a range of areas

Our role as Official Professional Services Provider gives us a unique, holistic perspective on the Organizing Committee's needs. By combining our extensive global experience and strong local commitment, we are able to support the Organizing Committee in a range of areas.

We’ve had over 140 project requests from Sochi 2014 across most of its functional areas so far.

Delivering value on National Project #1

Dmitry Chernyshenko, President and CEO of Sochi 2014:

“When holding such large-scale events as the Olympic and Paralympic Games, it is critical to have business partners you can rely on. PwC has been active in Russia for more than 20 years and has made significant contributions to Russia’s economic development. The firm has always been distinguished by the fresh approach and original thinking of its people in meeting new challenges, which is exactly why we have chosen them.”

Robert Gruman, Partner and Advisory Leader at PwC Russia:

“As a Canadian, I have always been passionate about winter sports and the Olympic Games. So it’s a great honour for me personally as well as for the entire PwC team to work on the Sochi 2014 initiative. In working with the Organizing Committee, PwC has the chance not only to provide strategic advice, but also to offer practical solutions for a range of management, sustainability and planning challenges. We are committed to assisting Russia in hosting the best, most innovative Olympic and Paralympic Games ever.”
