Sustainable Sport Index
Sustainable Sport Index (SSI) is a first-of-its-kind initiative, using self-reported survey data to analyze the environmental and social practices of professional, minor league, and collegiate sports venues to produce an anonymized benchmarking report.
Now in its fourth year, SSI is an annual survey and benchmarking report analyzing sustainability practices in professional, minor league, and collegiate sports venues. We encourage all venues to participate regardless of where they are in their sustainability plans by providing an anonymized analysis of self-reported data measuring:
- Energy and Greenhouse Gases
- Waste Management and Diversion
- Communication and Fan Engagement
- Sponsorships
