sportainable, is a non-profit international network of experts from science and practice who are dedicated to sustainable sports development. Both independently and in cooperation with their partners, they pursue their mission to rethink sport as resource-efficient, low-emission, nature-friendly, socially responsible, and humane. They provide a basis of knowledge for actors, who want to embark on the path of sustainable development. They create impulses to take such paths.

GSS is supported by a range of organisations including GSSport24 programme partners Golf Sustainable, sportsXpert and Whistle, Federation partners, the International Biathlon Union and Athlete partners High Impact Athletes, Ocean partners Ecomar and Education partners Responsible Sport, with many more to be announced.

There are numerous examples of sports organisations driving change through their sustainability programmes, and the GSSport24 programme seeks to support this work through knowledge-sharing and education, providing regular workshops and in-person events, discussing different topics and themes around sport and sustainability.

“The GSSport24 programme is designed to help organisations take solid steps on their journey to positive change. We invite organisations to be part of the conversation through the programme and help accelerate the development of sustainability through sport around the world.” commented Global Sustainable Sport CEO and Founder Mike Laflin said.

GSS is providing free access to the GSSport24 programme to organisations and individuals around the world, from areas like Africa and parts of Asia, who may lack the financial resources to travel to events in Europe, but who also urgently need assistance and support on the development of their sustainability programmes.

GSS is offering an ‘Early Bird’ registration to the GSSport24 programme before May 31^st for the Munich Congress on June 26-27 and free access to the first online workshop set to take place on May 28^th.
