Sport Sustainability is a three-day, on-site AISTS course for sport managers and professionals. Taking place in Lausanne during the week of 15 March 2027, participants learn how to develop and implement sustainability strategies, address key environmental challenges, and integrate sustainability into sport organisations’ decision-making.
In a constantly changing world, sustainability is one of the most defining challenges of our times. On top of being no exception to this trend, sport has a leading rolle to play.
The ability of a sport organisation to balance the economic, environmental and social impact of their activities, including events they govern or organise is critical to the future development of their sport. Integrating sustainability in corporate planning, calendar design and decision-making is crucial but also offers value-adding applications with climate change.
Through case studies, exercises, and peer discussion, participants learn how to identify material issues, build sustainability plans, measure performance, and report impact. The programme combines academic insight with real-world practices from international sport bodies, federations, and companies, fostering an interactive and collaborative learning environment.
This programme provides an understanding of the concept of sustainability within corporations and sports organisations, while teaching how to identify key sustainability issues, set priorities, and define clear goals. It explores the main practices and challenges of managing carbon emissions and highlights the managerial complexity involved in integrating sustainability aspects into decision-making processes. Finally, it addresses the organisational processes and management practices required to effectively implement a sustainability strategy.
