The sports industry is becoming increasingly vulnerable to extreme weather events fuelled by climate change, putting participants and communities at risk. The Game Plan initiative by the Australian Sports Commission further highlights the industry’s growing commitment to environmental sustainability as clubs seek solutions to mitigate climate impact.
Martin Sheppard, CEO of the National Sports and Physical Activity Convention (NSC), is excited about this partnership. “We are very pleased to have FieldTurf and TurfOne on board, which recognises their commitment to sustainability and also allows NSC to plant a tree for every one of our paying delegates as part of our commitment.”
For more than a decade, FieldTurf Australia and TurfOne have been partners for Major Sports Fields, combining expertise and innovation.
