CIFAL Málaga-Sustainability in the Sports Sector
People
Background
The Spanish Olympic Committee is a private association, governed by its statutes and regulations, and by the principles and rules of the International Olympic Committee, which is the entity that oversees and controls its activities. The Spanish Olympic Committee was created in 1912, as recognized by the International Olympic Committee itself. In its more than 100 years of existence, the Spanish Olympic Committee has undergone numerous changes, by the historical evolution, highlighting sporting and organizational successes in its recent past, and always contributing to the promotion and dissemination of the Olympic ideals. Article 48 of Law 10/1990, on Sport, recognizes these particularities of the Spanish Olympic Committee, granting it the status of a public utility entity. Likewise, article 49 of said Law reserves for the Spanish Olympic Committee the use of any Olympic symbolism and denominations throughout the state territory. Aware of the exemplary leadership of the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) in the global arena, especially in the development of sustainability strategies in sport, both in its own management and in the organization of sporting events, as well as in the training of suppliers in the sports field, “Sustainability in Sport” was created to respond to the need to facilitate access to knowledge and sustainable practices in the sports sector.
