It’s been a real pleasure to work with Daniel Hook & Nas Al-Sabaeiova from Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby to develop their first Environmental Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan. This support has been made available to over 30 National Governing Bodies as part of UK Sport’s Accelerator Programme. We have been working on this landmark project with our friends Useful Projects and this is one of many more plans that will be launched that gives UK Olympic and Paralympic sports a roadmap to decarbonise and work across broader environmental sustainability issues.

“Sport has the power to change the world, it has the power to inspire.” Deze quote heb ik de afgelopen dagen weer meerdere malen voorbij zien komen en ik kan alleen maar beamen hoe ontzettend actueel dit nog altijd is 🌎. Met een fijne groep relaties bezocht ik de afgelopen dagen de Sport Positive Summit in Londen, waar ik o.a. ontzettend onder de indruk ben geraakt van het krachtige verhaal van ultrarunner Jasmin Paris en meer inzicht heb gekregen in de implementatie van de CSRD door Club Atlético de Madrid, met dank aan Rocío Torres ⚽️. We hebben met elkaar vanalles besproken, veel gelachen en ook nog eens ontzettend genoten van het bezoek aan de Royal Ocean Racing Club, waar we een interessante lezing hebben gehad van Sporting Giants. Big thanks to Scott Over and Dan Reading CEnv CMP for this🙏🏼. Ik ben weer met veel ‘groene inspiratie’ in Nederland en wil vooral More2Win, Teamplayers, Michiel van Rijn van Alkemade, Pieter Kuijpers, Ilja Dijkstra en Ragna Schapendonk bedanken voor de top organisatie. Genoten!! #sustainability #esg #sportslaw #visserslegal

Thank you The Rivers Trust and River Action UK and Dan Reading CEnv CMP and Randa Kachef, PhD and Philip Bingham and Adam Freeman-Pask and Chloe Peck and Animal and Plant Health Agency and Tessa Wardley and Emma Brisdion and Alastair Marks and Alexandra Lily Fraser and Melanie Caumont and Samantha English for spending the day talking 'Water' and what we can do through our Rowing Clean Water Partnership to help it thrive. The day was excellently facilitated by Clarasys and we have a few exciting projects emerging out of it as we move from the education phase on the clean water strand of our strategy to the action phase.

🎉 Exciting News! 🎉 We are thrilled to announce that Sporting Giants has been named a FINALIST for the 2024 The Sports Business Awards as BEST BUSINESS SERVING SPORT – UNDER £3M TURNOVER 🏆 We have only been up and running for 16 months. We couldn’t have achieved this nomination without the support of our amazing clients and partners. 🙌 Thank you all for being part of our journey. It’s a real honour to be finalists and we look forward to celebrating, or having a great time losing, with all in attendance in November! 💥 #SportingGiants #SportBusinessAwards #SBA24

The Sporting Giants team have just returned home after two inspiring weeks of sport. Over the last few weeks, the team have had a packed agenda supporting various clients including International Federations, National Olympic Committees and Brands. The team still took time to catch up with many friends in the Olympic movement as well as watch plenty of sport with highlights including: 🏅 International Olympic Committee – IOC Climate Awards finalists were announced with categories for athletes, federations and national olympic committees such as the Mauritius Olympic Committee who we have been supporting. We also celebrated when our new client, World Aquatics, joined the UN Climate Change Sports For Climate Action Framework at the end of the event, marking a significant step on their sustainability journey. 🌍 IUCN Sports4Nature (Olympic Edition - Stronger Together) - welcoming a number of new signatories and hear from existing signatories on their initiatives. 🥇 British Triathlon Federation celebrating Team GB's individual and team success at the British Embassy Paris with cucumber sandwiches and pimms(!). 🥇 Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 - Parc Des Champions - celebrating the Olympic medals from the day under the Eiffel Tower. A great idea we're sure we can look forward to being adopted by other OCOGs. 🥇Experiencing the celebrations and hospitality of Team GB House, TeamNL Huis (to watch the opening ceremony) and CNOSF's Club France and Oakley House (that surely throws the best party!). 🥇Visiting old colleagues and friends in Marseille as well as watching some sailing (when there was breeze!). 🥇Experiencing the buzz of Olympic weightlifting with the International Weightlifting Federation. 🥇Catching up with a number of GB athletes and support staff from the various National Governing Bodies involved with UK Sport's sustainability accelerator programme. As the dust settles, we congratulate all those that contributed to an unforgettable Olympics and we look forward to the Paralympics.

Can big sporting events be sustainable? It’s a question I ask in this long read for Sustainability Magazine, published yesterday. Huge thanks to AEG Europe and its brilliant Director of Sustainability Sam Booth for their help and total honesty (Sam calls festival and gig waste “monstrous” and says big event sustainability is not possible at the moment). Thanks also to Dan Reading CEnv CMP of Sporting Giants for expert insights. Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 is almost upon us. Despite some incredible efforts to mitigate, the impact on the planet will not be pretty. So should these events happen? Are sports, music and other set pieces big enough to trump net zero? Please leave your comments below. Personally, I love the Olympics, World Cup, etc, but I’m conflicted. #aegeurope #paris2024 #sustainability #sustainabilitymagazine
