Abstract

Organizations in Swiss sport are increasingly confronted with the questions of their effect on sustainable development and their contribution to solving socially relevant problems. To capture the current state of the sustainability discussion in Swiss sport, interviews were conducted with representatives of the Sports Office of the city of Bern, the national sports federation Swiss Ski and the fitness and sport provider UNIK Sports. The terms sustainability and responsibility are used differently and have only recently come into focus in the organizations. At the Sports Office and at Swiss Ski, where activities are (partly) dependent on public support, the issue has a higher priority. At the commercial company UNIK, sustainability issues often raise the question of costs. Emphasis is placed primarily where the core business is located or where the organization offers scope for action. At Swiss Ski, this tends to be in ecology and at the Sports Office and UNIK in society. All the organizations agree that sustainability issues will continue to gain relevance in Swiss sport, but they see different topics in focus.
