📢 MOVING TO SUPPORT OUR PLANET: 🌏 I am very proud of the commitment we Active Lincolnshire have made to environmental and social sustainability in our newly launched plan 'Moving to Support Our Planet.' Our plan considers: ✅ 1. Our role as an organisation - our behaviors, buying choices, policies, messaging, supply chain decisions, travel choices. 🌟 2. Our role as an advocate for the local physical activity sector, to influence and inspire organisations delivering activity to consider their choices. 🚲 3. Our role in supporting the people of Lincolnshire. By walking and cycling more, we reduce our carbon footprint as well as being more active and enjoying being outdoors. Supporting better physical and mental health. 💞 Take a look at our plan, supported by climate champions Dom Fieldhouse-Gray Ian Fytche Kelly Evans Ali Fisher - Plans With Purpose Chris Boardman CBE and thanks to Sport England for guidance on this journey. Together we can make a difference. #pedalforparis #climateemergencyday #environmentalcommitment #letsmovelincolnshire #everymovecounts

Premier League clubs have established a new environmental sustainability commitment… Currently, six Premier League clubs openly disclose some or all of their carbon footprint: 👉 Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace. This new commitment includes: ⚽ Developing a sustainability policy ⚽ Designating a senior employee for environmental activities ⚽ Creating a greenhouse gas emissions dataset ⚽ Supporting a common framework for action. It’s great to see the strides being made in sustainability in sports. Do you reckon more clubs will follow in addressing environmental concerns? https://lnkd.in/eZ-U7xkz

Environmental Sustainability in project delivery is a critical success factor in my opinion. Designing environmental sustainability strategy right from the planning stage is as important as securing title sponsorship, especially for environmental sensitive sport, such as golf. I am therefore using this platform to reach out to environmental sustainability strategists to get in touch - info@hpcslh.com Let’s talk….#sportbusiness #powerofsport #sportstourism

"They say golf is like life, but I don't believe them golf is more complicated than that." - Gardner Dickinson I am a big believer in the impact which Sustainability practices can have upon a business, especially in the current climate of ESG legislation and Sustainable Finance requirements. A lot of my work is focussed upon winning contracts within the Leisure & Hospitality space, so this is an area I take a lot of interest in. I have seen some great content recently on LinkedIn from many in the industry such as England Golf GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf EIGCA - European Institute of Golf Course Architects Abama Resort Tenerife and Global Sustainable Sport amongst others. The focus for many golf clubs ⛳ remains upon: 🏌♂️ improving efficiency 🏌♀️ reducing operating costs 🏌♂️ enhancing their courses 🏌♀️ minimising environmental impact 🏌♂️ extending connection to their community There seems to be a real focus on this at the moment, which is great to see, especially when we are seeing the effects of climate change - heat & drought stress, access to irrigation water, erosion and flooding as examples. A lot of the success probably comes down to the sustainability strategy developed by England Golf and British Association for Sustainable Sport which includes: ✅ Energy & Emissions ✅ Waste Management ✅ Water Resources ✅ Accessibility & Equality ✅ Economy & Community All of this means that there is an established framework for golf clubs to work towards, where they understand what success looks like across their industry. This is great for the environment and for business, as it should be and in that order 😊. #esg #sustainabilityingolf #sustainablefinance #sustainability #climateaction
