Combined For Change Sustainability Tour
In the 2024/25 season, the efforts to make the Viessmann FIS Nordic Combined World Cup as sustainable as possible are set to have more impact than ever.
The Local Organizing Committees (LOCs) of the eight World Cup stages are joining the FIS #CombinedForChange Sustainability Tour, an opportunity for them to learn from each other’s initiatives and maximize their ability to organize ever more sustainable events.
By sharing expertise and results, the organizers will create a collective pool of knowledge on how to put together more sustainable events. The challenges we face today, particularly those related to the environment, are common to everyone, and so can be the solutions. Event organizers have been proactive in implementing impactful projects, and replicating these widely across snow sports can make a significant positive difference.
Combined for Change Award presented by Viessmann
At the end of the season, the FIS Combined For Change Award presented by Viessmann will recognize the most impactful initiative. The winner will be determined based on a voting process involving FIS Sustainability & Viessmann representatives, Local Organizing Committees (LOCs), athletes and fans. The winning LOC will receive a EUR 10,000 voucher for an intelligent climate and energy solution from Viessmann.
This award aims to support the event organizers in their efforts to create a positive impact for the climate and to highlight the projects contributing to sustainability in winter sports and beyond.
