Sustainability Strategy
For over two decades, MI has contributed to best practice delivery of events, sports and venues, and sustainability has emerged as a key principle underpinning all our work. We collaborate to find sustainable solutions that reduce risk and negative impacts, and create positive solutions – environmentally, socially, ethically and economically. We help our clients identify uncomplicated opportunities to improve sustainability and environmental performance to create positive impacts.
We understand it’s often difficult to know where to begin when it comes to making sport more sustainable, and know understand the resource and budgetary restrictions sporting organisations have in this specialised area. We believe this work is about progress, not perfection. In an area that can often feel overwhelming and complicated, our sustainability service offering led by a team of senior professionals provides clients with roadmaps and easy actionable plans no matter where you are on your sustainability journey. We tailor our level of detail to match your specific needs.
Our strategies are aligned with recognised standards and norms including the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the UN Sport for Climate Action Framework, UN Sport for Nature Framework and ISO 20121 for sustainable event management, along with various others.
As a B Corp and carbon neutral certified organisation, our mission is to be a sustainable business, built on a knowledge sharing culture and we want to help sport clients create a positive legacy, inspire innovation, create a healthier planet and contribute to a more sustainable future.
