In May 2024 Sports England launched it's sustainability strategy, Every Move, which recognises the urgent need for the sport and physical activity sector to take action and make a difference amongst society. More than £45 million of National Lottery funding has been granted to tackle this and make the sports sector greener and more sustainable.

"You can’t do this alone. Reach out. Get support.
That’s what made all the difference for us"

"When I was first tasked with sorting out ‘Sustainability’ at Newcastle United Foundation, I had no idea where to start or knowledge of the topic. The Investors in the Environment programme and its dedicated team of advisors have supported us every step of the way"  Steve Mack, Head of Projects

"The appointment of ‘green champions’ across the organisation, who have completed bespoke iiE training, has also helped Rise ensure environmental sustainability is considered and promoted across the organisation, through consistent messaging and ‘check-and-challenge’ behaviour.”

Rebecca Stokoe, Environmental Sustainability Development Manager

“Earning iiE Green is a proud moment for our team. It validates the everyday changes we've made; how we travel, meet, use data and design facilities. It keeps us accountable to our 2035 net-zero goal and it proves that the projects we deliver can leave a lighter footprint for the communities they serve.”

John Leaver, Marketing and Frameworks Director
