Sustainable Sport

Stichting Duurzame Sport (the Dutch Organisation for Sustainable Sport)
Interest in sustainability is also on the increase in the field of sport. The concept of sustainable sport is about things like:
- environmentally friendly management of buildings and grounds
- sports goods produced from sustainable materials and without child labour
- healthy and organic produce in canteens and food outlets
- multi-cultural values
- sport as a means of (re)integrating people into society
- using activities like cycling and rowing machines to generate energy
- and more

Stichting Duurzame Sport is an umbrella organisation that aims to:
• create awareness of the importance of sustainability for the sports sector
• embed sustainable development as part of the structure of sport and play
• offer a platform for communication, mutual benefit and practical support
