GSS2025: A New Chapter in Sustainable Sport Workshops

 

 

Following the success of our GSSport 2024 programme, Global Sustainable Sport is excited to launch GSS2025 – an evolved, fully online workshop series designed to engage, inspire, and support the global sport community on its journey to a more sustainable future.

 

 

 

In 2024, we welcomed sport organisations from around the world to take part in our interactive, online workshop programme. We explored key themes from environmental sustainability to governance, equality, community engagement, the athlete voice, and the power of partnerships. The insights shared and connections made were invaluable, creating a strong foundation for what comes next.

In 2025, we’re going further.

  • May – Power – What does it take to host a truly sustainable event?
  • June – Planet – TBC
  • July – Propserity – TBC
  • September – Partcipation – TBC
  • October – Profile – TBC
  • November – People – TBC
  • December – Partnerships – TBC

 

 

 

 

GSS2025 will offer a monthly series of online workshops, each tackling a specific aspect of sustainability in sport. By offering a fully online programme, we’re making it easier than ever for sport organisations and stakeholders of all sizes – from local clubs to international federations – to take part, regardless of geography or resources.

Whether you’re just starting your sustainability journey or looking to deepen your impact, GSS2025 offers a valuable opportunity to connect with peers, stay ahead of emerging trends, and be part of a global movement driving change in sport.

Join us on 22 May 2025 and be part of the conversation shaping the future of sustainable sport.

GSS2025 Workshop Series

Workshop 1 - 22nd May 2025

What does it take to host a truly sustainable event?

Join 3R Sustainability and Kraft Sports + Entertainment for an energizing workshop exploring ISO 20121 – the international standard for sustainable event management. From concept to legacy, ISO 20121 helps ensure your event planning and operations align with your stakeholder interests, drive measurable impact, and deliver long-term value.

This session will demystify the certification process – including gap assessments, planning, stakeholder engagement, and audits – and highlight real-world success stories. You’ll leave with actionable best practices, insights from certified organizations, and tools to start building your own sustainable event management system. If you’re ready to make sustainability the heart of your events, this session is for you.

Key Takeaways Attendees Can Expect:

  • Gain a clear understanding of ISO 20121 certification and why it matters for sustainable events
  • Learn the full certification process, from gap assessment and planning to implementation and audits
  • Explore common challenges and best practices for embedding sustainability into event operations
