Advisory Services

Raising the bar in sports and entertainment

We take an authentic, results-driven, and anti-greenwashing approach to achieve world-class sustainability.

How Its Done

Bringing best practices to your venue or event

After working with hundreds of venues and members, Advisory Services and our partners continue to elevate and push the boundaries of what sustainability means for the Green Sports Movement.

Audit, Observe, and Baseline

We must first understand your onsite existing operations, systems, procurement, space restrictions, needs and opportunities. This important phase acts as a catalyst for many sustainability programs and projects. Here we identify low-hanging fruit.

Strategy

Alignment of leaders, core values, future goals, and the legacy of the organization is unique to every sport, owner, team, and venue. Stakeholder engagement and strategy creation ensures accountability and alignment for long-term success.

Road Mapping

Next, we establish the scope, frameworks, certifications, and KPIs on a priority-based timeline. Great sustainability programs take time and build on past successes.

Execute

Leveraging the power of the GSA membership, we bring projects to fruition and implement the Road Map. Advisory Services are more than plans on paper; we facilitate the execution by working together with our partners.

Measure

Delivering a sustainable venue or event demands keeping it at its peak performance while constantly striving for improvement. We track and validate all data.

Impact Reporting

With the work finalized and data validated, we create transparent reports which make it easy to see progress, verify results, and create momentum for the next project.
