PROCESS
Today, it is essential for organisers of sporting events not only to understand sustainability as a guiding principle, but also to manage it in a targeted manner. The planning and realisation of sporting events offer numerous opportunities to implement sustainability targets in the transformation areas of Climate, Resources, Nature, Economy and Society.
Structured sustainability management can be implemented with the help of the control areas and the planning tool.
Through systematic sustainability management, event organisers can not only reduce their ecological footprint in the long term, but also increase economic efficiency and social acceptance. A controlled approach to sustainability enables measurable results to be achieved, risks to be identified at an early stage and the increasing demands of sponsors, participants and local authorities to be met. Sustainability is therefore not only a contribution to environmental protection, but also a decisive factor for the success and future viability of sporting events.
CONTROL AREAS
For the sustainable planning and implementation of a sporting event, management processes must be implemented and certain administrative and organisational requirements must be met, including, for example, the clear allocation of responsibilities. These requirements are dealt with in the upstream and higher-level control areas (CA). The term control area refers to overarching requirements regarding organisational structures and activities that are necessary in order to integrate sustainability aspects into the organisation of the sporting event. It is therefore advisable to look into these control areas for every sporting event.
PLANNING TOOL
The planning tool for sustainable sporting events provides you with comprehensive support in the conception and realisation of an event, taking into account the six control areas. Thanks to a structured approach in several steps, our tool enables you to plan your event individually, taking into account the time component based on four phases. The aim is to provide a tool that promotes sustainable sporting events.
