The OC of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics has signed partnership deals with China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec Group). CNPC and Sinopec Group have been announced as Official Oil & Gas Partners of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympics  2022. The two companies have joined as top-tier sponsors of Beijing 2022, an arrangement that will see the two share marketing rights in the Oil & Gas category.

Zhang Jiandong, Vice-Mayor of Beijing and Executive Vice President of Beijing 2022, signed the partnership agreements with Xu Wenrong, Deputy General Manager of CNPC, and Li Yunpeng, Deputy General Manager of Sinopec Group, respectively.

“Both CNPC and Sinopec Group are major energy companies in the world and both were Official Partners of Beijing 2008. Beijing 2022 will bring precious opportunities for the two companies. For its part, the Organizing Committee will work hard to ensure that both benefit fully from the Olympic brand,” Zhang Jiandong said
