Olympism 365 was the IOC’s strategy to strengthen the role of sport and Olympism in society as important enablers of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, 365 days a year. The Olympism 365 Commission advised the IOC Session, IOC Executive Board, and IOC President on enhancing this strategic approach, with a view to maximizing the positive social impact of sport and Olympism. As of 2022 its chair is Auvita Rapilla.
The responsibilities of the Olympism 365 Commission were to:
- Advise on the IOC’s strategic approach to strengthening the role of safe, inclusive and sustainable sport as an enabler of the Sustainable Development Goals, and connect more people, from more diverse communities, to Olympism – 365 days a year;
- Provide recommendations on enhancing the coherence, coordination and collective impact of programmes, partnerships, and initiatives across, and beyond, the Olympic Movement, aimed at strengthening the positive social impact of sport;
- Analyze the implications for Olympism 365 of key strategic developments, future priorities and innovation across the Olympic Movement, development financing, corporate responsibility, and social policy; and
- Promote the relevance of Olympism 365 to stakeholders and partners who can help sustain and scale the contribution of sport and Olympism in society to sustainable development, including Olympic leaders, policymakers, development financing institutions, foundations, and social development institutions.
Some of the above was taken from the IOC official website. In October 2026 the IOC announced that this commission would be disbanded and replaced by working groups on an ad hoc basis.
