SUSTAINABLE SPORT INDEX
In celebration of #GreenSportsDay, APTIM - a global industry leader committed to accelerating the transition to a clean and efficient future - has released its third annual Sustainable Sport Index Benchmarking Report (SSI).
Fifteen sports leagues are represented, and all together, 24% of US-based professional sports venues participated in the 2023 SSI, with 96% repeating the process for the second year.
According to APTIM’s Director of the Sustainable Sport Index, Meredith McCurdy, having 96% of venues repeat their participation shows that the SSI is providing something of value to the industry.
APTIM’s SSI is based on self-reported survey data looking into the following key performance areas: Energy, Waste, Water, Transportation, Food and Beverage, Environmental Resilience, Sponsorship and Community Engagement and Employee Wellness. Unlike other sustainability indexes, APTIM’s does not rank, certify or award its participants based on their results.
The report aims to find and understand industry trends and establish best practices amongst sports venues.
