The Global Sustainability Benchmark in Sports (GSBS) evaluates the sustainability performance of professional sports organizations using a framework grounded in international standards.  GSBS recently released its 2024 Report, which analyzes data from GSBS-rated organizations across 27 key sustainability topics, including Corporate, Environmental, Social, and Governance. This initiative provides valuable insights into sustainable practices in the sports sector. Here are highlights from the 2024 Report that 3R’s sports sustainability experts are talking about: ▪️ Participation Growth: The number of GSBS-rated organizations increased from 55 in 2023 to 64 in 2024. ▫️ Diverse Representation: Organizations from 11 countries are now involved, up from 9 in 2023. ▪️ Corporate Strategies: There was an 8% increase in organizations that implemented a sustainability strategy. ▫️ Emissions Tracking: While 16% more organizations include Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions compared to 2023, there is a concerning 7% increase in organizations reporting rising emissions trends. ▪️ Renewable Energy: There was a 7% increase in organizations with their own renewable energy systems. ▫️ Social Responsibility: There was a 9% decrease in organizations offering mental health support to professional athletes of all genders. ▪️ Transparency: There was an 11% increase in organizations that are actively disclosing sustainability performance data. ▫️ ISO Certification: With a 5% increase from last year, 23% of organizations are ISO certified. ▪️ Average Scores: All key topic areas saw an increase in average scores, except for Environmental.

Get ready for California climate disclosure 📊 The California Legislature passed SB 219 in August to further support the implementation of mandatory climate emissions data disclosures for public and private companies earning over $1 billion annually and mandatory climate-related financial risk reports for public and private companies making $500 million or more. This regulation goes into effect January 2026 (covering data from fiscal year 2025). Don't wait to act. 3R will help you collect and calculate your emissions and guide you through the reporting process so that you are confident and prepared by the time the 2026 reporting deadline approaches.
