Let’s set the GOAL for sustainability in Sports & Entertainment.
Join the world's leading venues on a journey of social impact, climate action, and responsible change.
GOAL Members
“LEED certification has been a great start for venues to benchmark their sustainability initiatives… But GOAL offers something much more dynamic: the ability to share information and best practices amongst facilities trying to make a difference in this space in real-time, and a way to accelerate sustainability efforts with the GOAL of reducing carbon footprints. The Miami HEAT and FTX Arena are both excited and proud to be founding members.”
Eric Woolworth, President of Business Operations, The HEAT Group
GOAL Equity Partners
Sustainable venues host sustainable events
In addition to integrating sustainability into venue operations, we also partner with events, such as artists or concert tours, to integrate sustainability into one-off events.
“Environmental and social sustainability is a lifelong commitment, and we’re just getting started. With our new partners at Fenway Sports Group and Oak View Group, we can now share our journey with other like-minded venues just beginning their journeys. We can all certainly make progress as individual venues, but we are stronger as an industry if we work together to do better for a sustainable future.”
Steve Koonin, Atlanta Hawks’ & State Farm Arena CEO
