The European Tour group is committed to staging ever more sustainable and responsible golf tournaments, which respect the environment and help strengthen communities. This is a core part of our overall sustainability strategy - delivered through our Green Drive, Golf Futures and G4D initiatives - under our Golf for Good umbrella.
Over recent years, and working with many valued partners and suppliers, we have undertaken concerted efforts across the championships that we own and stage, including flagship events in the Rolex Series and Ryder Cup.
Like other promotors on our Tours, our focus has been on delivering world class events that utilise sustainability best practice, and new innovations, to drive down resource use, emissions and waste. We are also using our global platform to drive up the protection and promotion of nature, and engage with local communities in areas such as education and charity giving to deliver a lasting legacy in the places we visit.
As a key part of our next phase of work, we’d like to break down barriers to getting started in delivering championships more sustainably. This includes helping you to integrate sustainability and climate action to a greater degree into tournament planning, operations, legacies and communications.
We hope the guidance provided here, developed with our partners at GEO Sustainable Golf Foundation, helps more event organisers on their important journeys - to stage golf tournaments which deliver even more value to all stakeholders, with even greater net positive impacts for people and planet.
