13 The minimisation objective refers to the Games-wide carbon footprint, i.e. emissions from Games’ operations under the responsibility of the OCOG, from Olympic venues’ construction, from the construction of city infrastructure needed for the Games, and from spectator travel.14 ‘Direct’ or ‘owned’ emissions of OCOGs are those related to the operation of the Games and fully funded by the OCOG before, during and after the event. Annex 1Requirements for candidate cities, OCOGs, host cities and their delivery partnersThe requirements below will be applicable to the processes related to the XXV Olympic Winter Games (taking place in 2026) onwards. For current Olympic Games’ planning processes, i.e. for PyeongChang 2018, Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022 and for the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad taking place in 2024 (host city to be elected in 2017), the IOC will work closely with the OCOGs and host cities to align their practices with our Sustainability Strategy.SOURCING AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENTMOBILITYWORKFORCECLIMATEINFRASTRUCTURE AND NATURAL SITES• Implement responsible sourcing practices for goods and services, including those from national sponsors and licensees• Implement effective processes to avoid waste production and to optimise the lifecycle of materials• Candidate cities and host cities to develop sustainable transport solutions as part of their Olympic Games project • OCOGs and host cities to maximise use of public transport and active travel modes at Olympic Games time• OCOGs and host cities to implement sustainable logistics solutions for movement of goods • OCOGs and host cities to promote sustainable tourism in host cities/regions• OCOGs to ensure that working conditions of employees and volunteers are safe and healthy, and that active lifestyles are promoted• OCOGs, host cities and host NOCs to take all necessary measures to ensure that development projects or other projects necessary for the organisation of Olympic Games comply with internationally-recognised standards and all international agreements, laws and regulations applicable in the Host Country with regard to working conditions• OCOGs to offer skills development opportunities for young professionals• OCOGs to promote gender equality and to have a local workforce that reflects the diversity of the host country• OCOGs and host cities to minimise the Olympic Games’ carbon emissions13• OCOGs to compensate their ‘direct’/ ’owned’ emissions14 • OCOGs and host cities to promote low carbon solutions for and through the Olympic Games in the host country• Candidate cities, OCOGs and host cities to take into account potential consequences of climate change when selecting Olympic Games locations• Maximise use of existing facilities and temporary and demountable structures, and only develop new permanent facilities that offer long-term benefits for local communities and contribute to the development of sustainable cities • Prioritise the use of previously developed or degraded land over greenfield sites for the development of new venues and infrastructure, where these can provide sustainability benefits for the local community• Maintain conservation status for any natural or cultural protected areas utilised for the Olympic Games• Use recognised ‘green building’ standards appropriate to the country/region• Optimise environmental performance of Olympic venues (e.g. impacts on air, water, soil, biodiversity, climate and raw materials availability)• Avoid displacement of existing homes and businesses and adverse impacts on indigenous people and land rights; where unavoidable, consult and provide fair compensation and support, in accordance with local regulations12 | IOC Sustainability Strategy Executive Summary
