Dear athletes, We have one thing in common: we love the challenge! The International Orienteering Federation has bestowed on the Canton of Vaud and its Capital Lausanne the organisation of the next World Orienteering Championships. It is the goal of the Organising Committee, over which I have the honour of presiding, to ensure that the most favourable venues for beau- tiful and memorable competitions can be created and realised and to provide the best hospitality for the athletes from all nations. This is our challenge! By coming to Lausanne you will move around in the heart of a region where sport is king thanks to the In- ternational Olympic Committee and the many international sports organisations that have their headquarters here and the many National, European and World competitions being held in the area year after year. Your personal challenge will be to rise above your potential in honour of your own country and to show ex- citing competitions to the spectators of the country that welcomes you! Together we have one common aim: to share the passion for our sport which is ORIENTEERING! We are counting on your presence in Lausanne from 14th to 21st of July 2012. See you soon!

The organising committee is dedicated to holding an athletic event which supports sustainable development. Orienteering is a nature-loving sport and, therefore, the WOC represents an ideal context in which to create a sustainable project. It should be 1) economically viable, 2) socially equitable and 3) respectful to the environment. The organising committee recognises its economic, social and environmental responsibilities. It endeavours, with the support of the Canton of Vaud and the City of Lausanne, to conform to the following principles: Adopting responsible and consistent operational procedures Raise the organising committee’s awareness of the three above-mentioned components of sustainable deve- lopment that should influence their processes and decisions. The Organising Committee will also make sure that the following necessary and responsible measures will be implemented during the event by the athletes, the spectators and the volunteers. Protecting the environment Protect sensitive and natural areas, avoid any water pollution and emphasise public transport to limit use of fossil energy and to reduce CO2 emission. Managing waste effectively Reduce the production of rubbish, encourage recycling and sort the trash. Favouring regional economy Work with regional businesses and offer local products in the food stands and restaurants. Raising awareness of the benefits of physical activity for young people Encourage young people to participate in the event and to take up the sport of orienteering as a healthy and sociable basis for their life. Integrating the population Integrate the event into city life and offer ways for the population to participate and for the local businesses and cultural enterprises to become involved. Becoming conscious of the need to act differently Raise the competitors’, the spectators’ and the general population’s awareness of the need to adapt their behaviour in order to respect the environment and adopt a sustainable lifestyle.
