Sustainability jobs in sports and outdoor recreation

Sports is the pathway covering climate work in athletics, venues, and the outdoor industry. It includes stadium and venue sustainability, event waste and travel emissions, and the product and supply chain work at outdoor brands whose customers are watching the seasons change first hand.

Leagues, teams, venue operators, event organizers, and outdoor apparel and equipment companies hire here. It is a small pathway with unusual reach, because sports organizations talk to audiences most climate organizations never get in front of.

Roles you will see in this pathway

• Venue sustainability manager
• Event sustainability coordinator
• Sustainable product manager
• Supply chain analyst
• Corporate responsibility lead
