Sustainability
World Netball (WN) has confirmed its commitment to working towards a Net Zero target of 2040, paving the way for a more sustainability-conscious Netball Family.
WN recognises that as an international governing body it has a significant responsibility when it comes to sustainability and is therefore currently in the process of creating a sustainability strategy that will align with its core strategies: To GROW, to PLAY, and to INSPIRE.
As a first step towards achieving its Net Zero goal, WN is delighted to announce that it has joined the United Nations (UN) Sport for Climate Action Community and partnered with Net Zero Group (NZG).
Let’s learn more about those two partnerships:
The partnership with NZG, a Climate-Technology business that helps companies measure, reduce, offset and communicate their carbon footprint, will see World Netball commit to measuring and reducing their internal carbon footprint.
NZG will also assist WN in leveraging its influence to engage individuals, organisations, and businesses in carbon measurement and reduction through carbon footprint calculators and will provide specialised training to WN staff on carbon reporting and the intersection of sport and sustainability, empowering the WN HQ to integrate sustainability principles into their decision-making processes.
The UN’s Sport for Climate Action initiative aims to support and guide sports actors in achieving global climate change goals.
Through joining the UN’s Sport for Climate Action Community WN has agreed to begin measuring its GHG emissions within the next six months, submit a Climate Action Plan within the next 12 months, have a 50% emission reduction by 2030 and be Net Zero by 2040.
