The traditional model of sports facilities has faced increasing scrutiny due to its significant environmental impact and vulnerability to global challenges such as climate change. Recognizing the urgency of addressing these issues, the Enhance Sustainable Measures In Sports Facilities (ESMIS) project aims to pioneer a new era of sustainable sports facilities across Europe. ESMIS is a collaborative effort aimed at fostering sustainability, inclusivity, and innovation within sports facilities across Europe. The project endeavours to address the pressing need for intervention in sports facilities to facilitate a green transition. Through the development of tools, guidelines, and knowledge-sharing platforms, ESMIS aims to empower sports facilities to adopt sustainable practices, driving positive change in the sports sector and beyond.
Employing a multifaceted approach, the project meticulously maps existing sustainable practices, conducts workshops to identify pressing challenges and areas for improvement, and develops comprehensive benchmark studies and practical guidelines. Additionally, ESMIS leverages interactive tools to disseminate knowledge effectively throughout the sports community. By inspiring and empowering sports facilities to embrace sustainability, the project seeks to foster greater community engagement and catalyse positive outcomes across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. Through collaborative efforts, ESMIS endeavours to lead the way towards a more sustainable future for sports facilities in Europe.
The project has developed a digital platform that sports facilities from all over the Europe can access to gather info, inspiration and possible solutions to become more sustainable. The platform is an interactive map of all the relevant sports facilities of Europe that are already concrete examples of sustainability and green solutions. If you are a sustainability manager or facility manager of a sport infrastructure in one of the European countries, register now your facility!
