Sustainability is changing the future of sport - and with it the demands on companies in the industry.
We know that this change is associated with challenges: rising costs, complex supply chains and increasing regulatory pressure. At the same time, however, it also offers the opportunity to remain competitive in the long term and drive real innovation.
Our aim is to provide you with the best possible support on this journey - with offers that provide guidance and help you to successfully implement sustainable strategies.
Athletes, consumers and legislators expect change. We hope that together we can find a way to make them meaningful and feasible.
