Sustainability
Sustainability work enables the successful implementation of our strategy. It is crucial that we ensure sustainability in all our operations. We aim to be a pioneer in sustainability. We have been working to integrate sustainability into our everyday activities. It is important to us that it is seamlessly integrated into both club activities and elite sports – and promoting an active lifestyle is already an act of sustainability in itself.
Olympic Committee’s Sustainability Guidelines
The Olympic Committee’s sustainability program serves as a framework and foundation for sustainability work. The program is based on the sports community’s shared sustainability program, the ethical principles of Fair Play, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Detailed concrete measures are documented according to themes in their respective programs.
