Add AddressSporting events offer a golden opportunity to engage with vendors and sponsors around best practices for sustainable events and venues. Any time people gather, it leaves a mark — from wrappers and cups strewn about stadium seats to trash and recycling containers full of food and drink waste. Then there's the wider impact of vast energy use, transportation of food and supplies, water, sanitation chemicals, and greenhouse gases emitted by spectators' vehicles.
In 2011, WM started working with the Council for Responsible Sport and sharing in their vision of a world where responsibly produced sporting events are the norm. More than a decade later, WM continues to help make that vision a reality. To see how we're redefining sustainability for sporting events and beyond, visit WM Phoenix Open and WM Sustainability Events.
