According to Karlstads kommun, the certification means the event will prioritize Goal 3 (Good health and well-being), Goal 5 (Gender equality), Goal 10 (Reduced inequality), Goal 12 (Sustainable consumption and production), and Goal 13 (Combat climate change). The municipality emphasizes that all people should be able to visit SM-veckan, and it works to make the event as accessible as possible, including ensuring persons with disabilities or other functional variations can take part in all sports and activities. Environmental requirements are also in place: food trucks must follow Karlstads kommun's sustainability requirements, service vehicles must be fossil-free, and a clear plan for waste sorting and handling is required.
This marks the second time Karlstads kommun has sustainability certified an event.
