How is Milano Cortina 2026 committed to human rights?

In addition to asking our Suppliers, Licensees, Sponsors and other stakeholders to respect human rights, Fondazione is committed to spreading a culture of respect and protection of the most vulnerable people. In addition to adopting a system to prevent and manage any abuses within the organisation and at venues, Fondazione promotes simplified but effective protection measures among all other subjects.

What is meant by sustainable sourcing?

The organisation of large events involves many production sectors, from energy supplies to transport, from food services to cleaning management, from culture (artists, technicians, etc.) to logistics and digital technology. For the Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, this means asking its Suppliers, Licensees and Sponsors to adopt measures to reduce the impacts of their respective supply chains and expand social benefits, for example in terms of human rights.

What is meant by universal accessibility?

The presence of various types of barriers or obstacles may prevent or make it difficult to use a means of transport, acquire information, use a service, participate in and enjoy an event or experience the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Accessibility is a prerequisite for inclusion and social participation.
Universal accessibility means:
• Offering full participation in Milano Cortina 2026 and a fulfilling path for everyone, free of any barriers or discrimination;
• Considering the needs and desires of each person, regardless of their condition, disability, etc., or linguistic, cultural and gender differences;
• Aiming for the environmental wellbeing of spaces and territories involved in the Games and leaving a positive material and immaterial legacy;
• Equipping the environment with facilities inspired by universal design, which enables access, recognition and use in full autonomy, comfort, safety and pleasantness;
• Using these characteristics to rethink the living spaces, services and equipment to be used, information and communications to be given, received and exchanged.

Do the Games involve an environmental assessment?

Yes, the Games Delivery Programme (together with planning, organisation and communication) falling under the responsibility of Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026 is subject to a Strategic Environmental Assessment. The procedure is still underway; it involves the Lombardia and Veneto Regions and the Autonomous Provinces of Trento and Bolzano. The first stage involved the presentation and approval of the preliminary report. In the second stage, the programme, along with the environmental report, is provided to the public in order to collect observations. The third stage — monitoring — will follow the organization of the Games and implementation of measures to protect the environment.

How are sustainable events organized?

Nothing can be called absolutely "sustainable". From the candidacy stage, Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026 has been committed to adopting measures to maximize the adoption of more sustainable environmental and social practices, respecting the availability of economic resources.
