In alignment with these principles, we recognize the urgent need for concerted efforts to address climate change and environmental sustainability within the realm of sports, business and individual events. As such, we have developed the following policy framework:

We will actively seek to engage individuals from diverse backgrounds and communities in our sustainability initiatives, ensuring that all voices are heard and represented in our decision-making processes.
Accountability and Integrity: We will hold ourselves accountable for our environmental impact and strive to operate with the highest standards of integrity in all our sustainability efforts. This includes implementing robust monitoring and reporting mechanisms to track our progress towards reducing our climate impact and promoting environmental responsibility.
