Sustainability

Sustainability Statement

European Athletics and the Local Organising Committee are committed to set a benchmark for other athletics events by delivering a set of sustainable practices which aim:

  • to minimise the environmental impact of the 2025 European Athletics Indoor Championships, in Apeldoorn/NED;
  • to foster social and economic legacy for the benefit of the host local and wider community;
  • To inspire the local and wider community to adopt healthy and active styles through the Athletics for All campaign;
  • To promote the sustainable development goals as a catalyst for sustainable development through sports.

We aim to make a positive contribution to the promotion of a sustainable future for athletics, therefore all participants, team members, staff, volunteers and spectators are encouraged to support a joint ambition and commitment to sustainability by embarking on a journey to reduce their individual carbon footprint.

This Sustainability & Legacy Plan is aligned with the sustainability goals and policies of the Province of Gelderland, City of Apeldoorn and Dutch Venue Association – Omnisports Apeldoorn, and will be implemented with a focus on the following key priorities:

  • Paper Reduction
  • Single-use Plastic Reduction
  • Waste Management
  • Environmental Awareness
  • Responsible Procurement
  • Athletics for all
  • Good Governance

Further information about Sustainability & Legacy for this event will be shared ahead of the event through the official communication channels, including the European Athletics and the Apeldoorn 2025 websites.
