This Guide is part of the "Sustainability Essentials" series developped by the IOC. It is intended to help organisations within the Olympic Movement and the wider sports sector to adopt more sustainable sourcing practices. The choices your organisation makes in the sourcing of goods and services will be fundamental to how you address sustainability as a whole. This is because most of the direct and indirect impacts you have on the environment, people, communities and businesses will stem from how you spend your money. Every item or project ultimately has a price and has to be paid for. How you decide which goods and services you want is ultimately under your control.

All IOC support services and material are shaped by the IOC’s “Olympic Agenda 2020” and, following the recommendations of Olympic Agenda 2020, the “New Norm”. The New Norm consists of 118 practical measures aimed at reducing the cost and complexity of the Olympic and Paralympic Games delivery model and covers the entire lifecycle of a Games edition from candidature to legacy realisation.

This is the introductory guide to the "Sustainability Essentials” series developed by the IOC. IOCaim here is to provide a general understanding of sustainability: what it means, why it is important, how it relates to sport and what a sport organisation can do to be part of this critical endeavour. IOC have compiled this general overview of sustainability as it is essential for National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and International Sports Federations (IFs) – indeed any sports organisation – to have a basic understanding of how sustainability is relevant to sport, and how to go about developing an effective sustainability programme that also leaves lasting legacies.
