Our planet-first approach
As a leading sporting and events business, we’re committed to doing better for our members, community and planet. That’s why we follow the BASIS framework created by the British Association for Sustainable Sport – a not-for-profit committed to delivering positive impact for sport at every level.
The framework is a set of 12 principles that provides a roadmap for sports organisations to reduce their carbon footprint, minimise waste, and promote sustainability in their operations. By following this framework we’re working hard to create a positive difference as a business to ensure that future generations can have a healthier, greener future.
Pioneering plates
The global food system currently accounts for 30% of greenhouse gas emissions. As a leading events venue, we want to have a positive impact and know that food and drink is central to this. Our catering partners, Levy UK + Ireland, have a sustainable approach to everything they do. From sourcing to wate management, our partnership with them ensures that our food is sustainably and ethically sourced and working to feed people in a pioneering, planet-friendly way.
Our sustainability strategies
From sauces to sourcing
We’re making conscious changes to the ways we source and serve food - from banning air-freight fruit and vegetables to introducing carbon labelling tool, Foodsteps, to help our customers make sustainable food choices.
People
We’re building an inclusive work environment where our people feel empowered to look after their environment.
Consumables
Consumables are another area in our supply chain where we’re working to reduce our carbon output, such as incentivising our employees to bring their own reusable cups and switching to recyclable or compositable consumables at our venues.
Beverages
We work with local, low carbon beverage companies, in which we share a collective focus on sustainable practices – such as using mostly UK-produced drinks and serving only Rainforest Alliance & Fairtrade certified tea, coffee, sugar and cocoa.
Waste management
Food waste is the third largest cause of global warming, so we’re taking a proactive approach to lessening all our waste, including food, packaging, and equipment.
