Sustainability
Align environmental operations or community outreach strategy to your core business objectives and experience the business case of sustainability.
You know it’s important:
Public consciousness about the importance of sustainability and climate change is at an all-time high. Successful businesses and industry leaders know that social inclusion and environmental responsibility are keys to their economic prosperity. FIFA recognized this imperative and developed a comprehensive sustainability plan for the FIFA World Cup 2014, the world’s largest single-sport event. The Commissioners of major sports leagues in the United States recognized this opportunity and they issued a letter to U.S. Congress in support of Climate Change policy.
You have some resources:
Live sports and entertainment trade groups, non-profits, and federal agencies, like the Green Sports Alliance, NRDC, and the EPA are documenting case studies and providing free resources. While these resources are useful, it can still be hard to determine where to start, what projects to prioritize and what additional resources your staff might need.
So, how do you get there?
