We aim to lead by example in the sport and recreation sector by promoting and practising environmental sustainability. We are committed to preventing pollution and minimising our negative environmental impacts. In fact, we were the first sports organisation to achieve BS 8555 - the national standard for environmental management.

The Sport and Recreation Alliance aims to:

• Manage our activities, products and services with consideration for the environment
• Take practical steps to minimise our use of natural resources and seek to lessen our adverse impact on the environment
• Set targets and objectives for environmental performance improvement and review these regularly to demonstrate our commitment to continual environmental performance improvement
• Measure and report performance against these objectives to members on an annual basis
• Purchase, wherever practicable, non-polluting and energy efficient products and technologies, following a green procurement policy
• Comply with relevant environmental legislation and regulations and to prevent, minimise and control pollution through the practical application of waste and resource minimisation programmes
