Embedding sustainability into teams, leagues, venues and events, fostering a healthier industry for people and planet through comprehensive sustainability plans and management systems.
We embed environmental, social, and economic sustainability into your operations and strategic decision-making through the creation of a sustainability strategy. We align your objectives with your business strategy and engage your stakeholders in the process to surface their needs. We support you in setting targets and creating initiatives that will reduce your environmental impact, elevate your social responsibility and support economic stability.
Where you’re not ready for a complete strategy development, we help you develop an initial roadmap. This high-level strategy guides you in identifying the impact of sustainability issues on your organisation as well as the impact your organisation has on the environment, referred to as a double materiality assessment. This starting point is crucial for developing a robust sustainability strategy that aligns with your overall business goals.
We specialise in implementing ISO (International Organization for Standardization) management systems to enhance your operational efficiency and sustainability. While ISO 20121 is traditionally seen as an event sustainability management system, we commonly adapt it to serve as the key framework of your sustainability strategy, ensuring a comprehensive approach across all facets of your operations. This implementation streamlines processes and reduces environmental impact while boosting your stakeholder engagement, complying with global standards and positioning your organisation for enhanced reputation and competitive advantage.
We quantify the total greenhouse gas emissions from your organisation or event, highlighting both your direct and indirect emissions. Through years of collective experience working in sport, we have developed our own comprehensive sports-specific carbon footprint methodology aligned to the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework. We identify your key carbon hotspots, support you in setting objectives and focus areas, provide recommendations for implementing emissions reduction targets and communicate performance to your stakeholders through a carbon footprint report. This brings several benefits, enhancing your operational efficiencies and delivering cost savings through improved environmental performance monitoring.
We help you understand and manage your climate impacts through the development of a Climate Action Plan, embedding climate change considerations into your organisation’s strategy and operations. This satisfies voluntary or mandatory disclosure requirements and demonstrates due diligence and action on climate to your stakeholders. Our approach is informed by best practices from CDP, TCFD, and is uniquely tailored for the sports sector. Components of the plan include governance, climate scenario analysis, risk and opportunity assessment, financial planning and value chain engagement.
Operational plans for sports events integrate social and environmental considerations to positively impact society and minimise the ecological footprint. This includes ensuring accessibility and inclusivity, engaging with local communities, promoting diversity, managing waste, encouraging sustainable transportation and raising awareness about sustainability. Live event audits help identify areas for improvement.
We transform your sustainability strategies into commercial opportunities by collaborating with your commercial team to identify and create innovative partnerships based on shared value and aligned purpose. Through interactive workshops, we enable your organisation to meet its sustainability commitments while assisting your partners in activating their purpose, fostering meaningful relationships with enhanced marketing and communication opportunities.
We guide your organisation in crafting compelling Sustainability Reports that articulate your environmental, social, and governance (ESG) journey, reflecting on commitments, achievements, and challenges. Through a meticulous process that balances detail with clarity, we ensure these reports meet rigorous standards while resonating with diverse stakeholder groups. Our expertise transforms sustainability reporting into a strategic asset, enhancing reputation, fostering trust, and driving forward your sustainability agenda.
