FIS nominated among finalists of the IOC Climate Action Awards

Nov 07, 2025·Inside FIS

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced FIS as one of the finalists of the IOC Climate Action Awards 2025 in the International Federation (IFs) category.

FIS was recognized for the development of the FIS CO₂Calculator, a tool designed for National Ski Associations and Local Organizing Committees to measure, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions not only at events, but also during the planning phase.

At the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships, for example, the tool guided strategies like using wood-chip heating, with hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) as a backup, reducing heating-related emissions by 96.6%. Last month, the FIS CO₂ Calculator won the 2025 Sport Positive Award for Inspired Innovation.

The beauty of the FIS CO2 Calculator is that its benefits are tangible, and its use is scalable across all the many disciplines for which FIS is responsible. We are extremely proud of this recognition.– Susanna Sieff, FIS Sustainability Director

The IOC Climate Action Awards celebrate impactful initiatives that address climate change across the entire Olympic Movement. The winners in the three categories ─ Athletes, National Olympic Committees (NOCs), and IFs ─ will be announced in the run up to the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
