The Croatian Olympic Committee has taken an important step towards climate responsibility by developing and publishing its first strategy focused on reducing its carbon footprint. This initiative is part of the wider European OCEAN project aimed at helping National Olympic Committees become more sustainable.
The Croatian Olympic Committee is actively participating in the international OCEAN project (Olympic Committees of Europe Approaching Carbon Neutrality), which brings together National Olympic Committees from across Europe to reduce CO₂ emissions and promote sustainability in sport. As part of the project, the Croatian Olympic Committee has developed its own CO₂ Reduction Strategy, now published on the official website.
The strategy outlines specific measures aimed at reducing emissions related to office operations, business travel, procurement, event organization, and energy efficiency. Key actions include a shift toward more sustainable transportation methods, purchasing products with a lower environmental footprint, promoting digital communication, and better monitoring of energy consumption. A major milestone in this effort will be the relocation to a new building owned by the Croatian Olympic Committee, which will allow for more efficient energy use and improved control over consumption data.
Although the OCEAN project officially concludes in May 2025, the Croatian Olympic Committee remains committed to continuing the implementation of its strategy, reaffirming its dedication to environmental sustainability and long-term impact.
The OCEAN project is coordinated by the European Olympic Committees and co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme. Throughout the project, National Olympic Committees have been exchanging knowledge, building capacity, and developing tools for measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The Croatian Olympic Committee is proud to contribute to this shared goal and demonstrate that the world of sport can be a driver of positive change in the face of climate challenges.
