The sustainability strategy is our shared framework. It is based on reliable data, sets clear goals, and offers concrete ways in which we can work together—as associations and with our partners—to develop sustainable solutions.

Areas of Activity and Responsibilities

Through the joint strategy “Winter Sports of Tomorrow 2040+” developed by the DSV, SNBGER, and SIS, we are establishing a commitment to responsible action. Overall, we are focusing on materiality and our greatest levers for change. This involves not only environmental and social aspects but also the economic aspects of sustainability. Specifically, our strategic objectives across six areas of action encompass the corresponding areas of responsibility: winter sports federations, training and competition centers, winter sports events, and winter sports destinations.

Mission Statement

Our shared goal is to develop winter sports in a way that allows us to fulfill our intergenerational responsibility for sustainable development within the context of the “2030 Agenda”—both regionally and globally. The principle of sustainability requires a shift in thinking across all areas in favor of long-term viability and a fair distribution of burdens, opportunities, and risks. The DSV, SNBGER, and SIS see themselves as pioneers for the sustainable winter sports of tomorrow and acknowledge that sustainability can never be fully achieved, but remains indispensable as a guiding principle. International frameworks such as the United Nations’ SDGs, the UN Declaration “Sports for Climate Action Framework” signed by our federations, and the guidelines of the IBU and FIS serve as our fundamental guiding principles.

Goals & Indicators

The areas of action cover the activities of winter sports organizations and each address several goals of the 2030 Agenda. They link various Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and form the overarching strategic areas for winter sports. They require a coordinated effort among winter sports federations, event organizers, policymakers, and athletes to shape a sustainable future. We have defined goals, measures, and key indicators for these areas of action. This is
an integral part of our federation’s strategy.
