Sport and Entertainment

 

As ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) regulations become more demanding, the sport and entertainment industries are under increasing pressure to comply with evolving standards that promote sustainability and social responsibility.  Regulations such as the EU Taxonomy Regulation, which classifies environmentally sustainable activities, and various national policies aimed at reducing carbon footprints require organisations in this sector to demonstrate their commitment to responsible practices.

To effectively navigate this landscape, companies in the sport and entertainment sectors must adopt a variety of environmentally friendly initiatives, including reducing waste at events, enhancing energy efficiency in venues, and prioritising sustainable sourcing of materials for merchandise.  They must also uphold worker rights and ensure fair labor practices across their operations.  Increasing transparency across business operations is essential, as stakeholders demand clear and accurate reporting of environmental and social impacts.

The Challenge

 

Meeting these growing ESG reporting requirements entails collecting reliable data on issues such as carbon emissions, resource consumption, and labor practices, all of which are critical for fostering trust and accountability in the eyes of fans and investors alike.

This goes beyond standard desk research – instead, businesses must get accurate insights of the realities of their supply chain and provide enough evidence of this to satisfy regulatory requirements.
