Making responsible events the norm worldwide

'Sport' is in our name, but we certify, support, and celebrate events of all kinds that waste less, welcome more, and give back to their communities. Since 2007, we've proven that excellence and sustainability belong together.

Events Move Us Forward

We certify, support, and celebrate events that waste less, welcome more, and give back to their communities. Since 2007, we've helped events reduce environmental impact, increase social equity, and strengthen economic responsibility.
