SUSTAINABILITY MISSION STATEMENT:

Morton Games International Athletics is committed to ensuring that our meet is fully aligned to the principles of sustainability. This is in recognition of the growing environmental challenges that the world faces today, specifically air pollution, climate change and our over consumption of resources and materials escaping unmanaged into the environment alongside the social issues of global equality and diversity creating unequal opportunities.

We support World Athletics’ ten-year strategy designed to deliver tangible benefits across the three pillars of sustainability - environmental, social and economic - by using the power of sport and athletics to create a better world for communities. That strategy includes a broad commitment to embrace sustainability principles and practices within its operations, its Member Federations and the organisation of future World Athletics Series events.

To that end, Morton Games has appropriated the Sustainability best practice guidance to deliver our strategy across six defined pillars, each of which contain actions and targets for our organisation to pursue:

·       Leadership in sustainability;

·       Sustainable production and consumption;

·       Climate change and carbon;

·       Local environment and air quality;

·       Global equality;

·       Diversity, accessibility and wellbeing.

 “Sport can’t escape climate change, but it can help do something about it.”
