We are the only professional golf Tour to commit to achieving net zero carbon by 2040 and we are ingraining best practice into our day-to-day operations to achieve this. We are also rolling out innovative energy efficient technologies, such as solar and hydrogen solutions, at our events – with our flagship Rolex Series tournaments acting as key test beds. In 2021, the Tour become a signatory to the United Nations Sports for Climate Action Framework.
We are also establishing a credible leadership position by finding ways of share our learnings with the wider sports industry, our tournament suppliers, and also our fans - who will play an important role in getting us to net zero.
Our latest Green Drive strategy was launched on World Environment Day, June 5, 2021 and is being delivered with support from the GEO Foundation for Sustainable Golf (GEO) - a non-profit organisation dedicated to inspiring, supporting and recognising sustainability in and through golf around the world.
Green Drive focuses on three core pillars:
• Lead by Example by integrating best practices into core operations, owned events and procurement, establishing Tour wide policies and tools, and activating new partnerships.
• Support and Share by providing guidance and examples of best practice, and fostering a growing community of collective action and results.
• Promote and Inspire by raising awareness, inspiring others and establishing a credible leadership position for golf in sustainable sport.
