Our Commitments

ITA - CSR Commitment

Making a wider impact

We believe in our power to do good, and that power extends beyond the practical aspects of our work.

Our core values of excellence, integrity and equality drive everything we do, and that includes working with the sporting community to deliver pro bono work, get involved with youth activities and make our work as sustainable as possible.

Corporate Social Responsibility

Our latest projects include:

  • Driven by the conviction that doping can be significantly reduced through compelling educational work, we have designed and implemented the “Real Sport Lab” for the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games. The “Real Sport Lab” is an interactive workshop that guides young athletes through the doping control process, makes them aware of their rights and responsibilities, and provides them with important information on how to check their medication and supplements. We ran this pro bono project in parallel with our anti-doping program and were able to prepare hundreds of aspiring young athletes for their first control.
  • In collaboration with GAISF, we supported 62 International Federations with free consultancy to review and help them adopt Anti-Doping Rules in the light of the then incoming 2021 Word Anti-Doping Code.
  • Together with other anti-doping partners, we organised a clean sport workshop for the United Through Sports Virtual Youth Festival 2020, a unique virtual sports festival dedicated to young people in sport. The festival was completely inclusive, supporting both Olympic, Paralympic and non-Olympic sports and particularly welcoming to young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds and from indigenous communities.
  • The spread of COVID-19 brought a halt to all event-based education activities. To keep in touch with our sporting communities and continue to offer our services, we held a series of webinars on important anti-doping topics. The webinars were free of charge and open to the whole sporting community – athletes, anti-doping coordinators/administrators, athlete support personnel, IF staff, coaches and medical personnel – helping to share our expertise across the board. These free webinars continue to be proposed monthly in five languages to the sporting community by the ITA until today, with the conviction that anti-doping education helps protect athletes and their health.

Creating a Sustainable Organisation

We aim to have as little negative impact on the environment as possible and we have a range of policies and ways of working to help us achieve this. We are constantly looking at how we can do better, and we want to inspire other organisations to do the same.

At the moment, our key sustainability initiatives include:

  • Situating our offices in an energy-efficient building
  • Ensuring we are a paperless organisation
  • Siting recycling stations throughout our offices
  • Encouraging staff to commute to the office by bike or public transport. We provide a free covered bike station and a discount card for public transport tickets. Currently, more than two-thirds of our staff commute to the office this way.

We believe that smaller individual changes can drive a bigger overall impact. That’s why we have introduced initiatives such as discouraging staff from using single use plastics by making a fully-equipped kitchen available with storage room for reusable food packaging. We also only use rechargeable batteries, and we have installed automatic movement-activated lights throughout the office to avoid wasting energy.

We will continue to ensure that our activities have a positive impact and that, wherever we can, we use our expertise and experience to help organisations and sporting bodies to succeed.
