WELCOME
WELCOME TO SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION IN SPORT 2017 On behalf of Climate Action and the speakers, sponsors and partners of this year’s Sustainable Innovation in Sport Forum 2017, we take great pleasure in welcoming you to the Hilton Munich Park. As you are already here, you understand the importance and potential of sustainability to the world of sport. Every day the positive news stories about stadiums, federations, teams, clubs, individuals pushing for sustainable change is heartening. However there is so much more to do. To see the ripples of this change reach its maximum output – we need engagement from everyone in the sports arena, and in spite of many wonderful achievements so far, we are still at the start of that journey. Over the next two days, we will work together to discuss these achievements, but more importantly plot the course for the next wave of action. What more can you do within your sport and your organisation to drive further change and more importantly influence others towards more responsible behaviours? With more than 30 speakers bringing their leadership perspectives, as well as interactive roundtables and plenty of networking time, use these days to both learn and educate others and drive partnerships. Leave with inspiration and a roadmap to the next steps for sustainability in your sport. Special thanks to our sponsors, without whom this meeting would not have been possible: Dow, IWBI, Ecosphere+ and Schréder Group. Thanks also to our partners, supporters and media partners who have been a crucial part of bringing this meeting together. Enjoy the next couple of days and let the Climate Action team know if you need anything at all.
