Pressing Environmental Themes in Sports Sector In 2023

Rise in fan awareness of the environmental impact of sporting events and sponsorship greenwashing are expected to have high impact on environmental performance in the sports sector.

Fans are becoming far more aware of the impact of sporting events due to wider campaigns by activists highlighting the issue of climate change. While the hosting of mega events such as the World Cup and the Olympic Games generates billions of dollars of revenue for host nations and cities via construction, the environmental toll of hosting an event can be vast.

The number of brands using sports sponsorship to ‘greenwash’ their reputation continues to grow; with the money these brands can provide to sporting organizations, rightsholders must try and balance their stated commitment to environmental and sustainability issues with their bottom line and need to generate revenue.

Major Companies in Sports Sector

Some of the major companies in the sports sector are Adidas, Allianz, DELTA, Mastercard, Nike, Puma, and Visa.

Adidas commits to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. To reach that target, Adidas will reduce 15% of water consumption at its own facilities and 40% at Tier 2 supplier facilities by 2025. The company also commits to the adoption of renewable energy at strategic Tier 1 and Tier 2 supplier facilities to keep emissions flat.

In 2020, Delta retired more than 200 aircraft and is replacing them with aircraft that are 25% more fuel-efficient. Delta is also set to replace 10% of its jet fuel refined from fossil fuel with sustainable aviation fuel by the end of 2030. Delta collaborated with apparel brand Someone Somewhere to create artisan-made amenity kits.

Scope

This report provides an overview of world’s climate in 2030. It focuses on the assessment of impact of environmental pressures on the Sport sector.

Key Highlights

Climate change and related themes (including heatwaves, emissions, deforestation, and water shortages) continued to remain in the spotlight in 2022. Financial institutions, businesses, and governments have increased their efforts to align with UN SDGs. We expect this trend to continue in 2023.

Reasons to Buy

The world is moving fast toward an environmental disaster. Governments have been distracted by pandemics, wars, and rising inflation. But consumers – especially young consumers – continue to maintain pressure on businesses to act. CEOs that are too slow to improve their company’s approach to sustainability will see an exodus of customers and a drop in profits far sooner than they ever imagined. Companies who invest in the right themes become success stories; those who miss the big themes end up as failures. ESG is one of the most important themes for 2023.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
