04 June 2025 – As the Olympism365 Summit: Sport for a Better World kicked off in Lausanne, Switzerland, International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach urged participants from all around the world to come together in a common mission of celebration, collaboration and action towards building a better world through sport.

Welcoming over 300 attendees, and with many more joining online, President Bach commended their participation and commitment, and outlined the aim of the event: “Your presence here today demonstrates the growing momentum behind our shared mission: to put sport at the service of society.

“The purpose of this Olympism365 Summit is not only to reflect on how far we have come, but, more importantly, to chart the course for the future. What we have built together over the past years is only the beginning. Now is the time to take these efforts — and the goals of the Olympic Agenda — to new heights.”

President Bach underscored the multifaceted role of sport and the collective effort needed to advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): “The IOC is fully committed to strengthening the role of sport as an important enabler of the UN SDGs,” he said. “We are doing so together with all of you. Together with our many partners from the UN family, from development institutions and from civil society, we are addressing 11 of the SDGs at the same time: peace, health, social inclusion, gender equality, sustainability and more.”

Born from this spirit of openness and collaboration, the IOC’s Olympism365 strategy has grown into a truly global effort, with over 550 initiatives currently being delivered across 175 countries by the IOC, National Olympic Committees and a range of implementing partners.

Olympism365 is not just a concept. It is a living, evolving initiative that is already making a difference on the ground. Whether through youth development, gender equality or peacebuilding and many more initiatives, Olympism365 is improving lives in real and meaningful ways across communities worldwide. This would not be possible without the commitment of our partners. Together, we are not just recognising the power of sport — we are realising it.

President Bach also highlighted the importance of safeguarding in sport, a topic that is high on the Summit agenda:

“To make a real and lasting impact, our efforts must not only expand access to sport, but also ensure that sport is safe. Sport must be free from abuse and exploitation. Only then can it truly be a force for good. This is why the IOC has made safeguarding a core priority, developing and investing in innovative safeguarding measures around the world. For this reason, safe sport is also a central theme of this summit, as we work together to strengthen these efforts across the Olympic Movement,” Bach added.

Looking ahead, President Bach emphasised the importance of charting the course for the future, taking the efforts and goals of the Olympic Agenda to new heights. Introducing the IOC President-elect, Kirsty Coventry, he expressed his confidence in her leadership and commitment to the mission of Olympism365.

“In her, you will find a true partner in this mission who not only shares our values and vision – she has lived them,” he said. “She is living proof of what sport can achieve – for individuals and for society.”
