What We do


Since 2007, we have been helping people measure and manage the social and environmental impacts of their events. Council for Responsible Sport certified events are some of the world's leading examples of responsible sport in action.

Together, we're paving the way for a sport events industry that embraces purpose through play. 

 
 
 
What began as a conscious, planned initiative to improve our sustainability efforts, has evolved into an infectious way of thinking within the organization top to bottom, and now it is inherent when planning and executing the event.
— Wade Morehead, Executive Director of the Houston Marathon Committee
 
 
 

As the world's leading responsible sport certification program, the Council for Responsible Sport helps you transform your thinking toward essential pieces of your event. The result is new ways of doing business that are noticeable, meaningful and more responsible. 

 
 

The Council for Responsible Sport is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization with a vision of a world where responsibly produced events are the norm. Its mission is to provide objective, independent verification of the socially and environmentally responsible work event organizers are doing and to actively support event organizers who strive to make a difference in their communities.
