Sport has the unique ability to inspire millions of people, but major sporting events also come with significant environmental and social impacts. From spectator travel and venue operations to broadcasting, temporary infrastructure and logistics, measuring sustainability requires an approach built specifically for the realities of sport.
Planet Positive Sport extends the Planet Positive Event methodology to the sports industry, as a partnership between Planet Positive Event and Sport Media Focus, providing federations, event organisers and sports organisations with a practical way to understand, measure and improve sustainability performance.
Rather than relying on estimates, PPSport transforms complex sustainability data into clear reports that support decision-making, transparency and continuous improvement.
Our platform helps sports organisations:
- Measure the sustainability performance of sporting events
- Calculate event carbon emissions
- Generate professional sustainability reports
- Support federation ESG objectives
- Benchmark performance across multiple competitions
- Demonstrate measurable impact to sponsors and governing bodies
PPSport has already been successfully applied at international volleyball events in partnership with the FIVB and continues to support organisers across different sporting disciplines.
Whether you’re organising one championship or managing an annual event calendar, PPSport provides the data needed to make sustainability measurable.
Planet Positive Sport is proud to support the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB) in measuring and reporting the sustainability performance of international volleyball events.
Following a successful pilot programme, the partnership has expanded to include multiple Volleyball Nations League, Beach Pro Tour and World Championship events, helping organisers better understand their environmental impact while providing transparent, data-driven sustainability reporting.
The collaboration demonstrates how measurable sustainability can become an integral part of international sporting events and sets a benchmark for the wider sports industry.
