Sustainable Golf
For hundreds of years golf has given rise to social and environmental benefits. Protection of coastal zones and urban greenspace, improved air and water quality, employment, community, and a healthy, inter-generational sport set in nature.
Golf offers a great deal of good for people and places. Yet as society begins to integrate sustainability into all aspects of life, expectations are ever higher. The golf community is well positioned to meet this challenge, for the welfare of society... and the good of the game. Building sustainability into your business can unlock cost-savings, improved reputation, operational efficiencies, and customer attraction and loyalty.
Business and wider societal interests can be met in unison. A lofty aspiration? Don’t know where to start? That’s where GEO can help with straightforward, practical programmes to help you evaluate and improve your performance across the six action areas that comprise Sustainable Golf.
