Supporting sustainability through our sporting nation

 

The British Association for Sustainable Sport (BASIS) aims to educate, share and develop best practice and integrate sustainable development principles into all aspects of sport.

We want to integrate sustainable development principles into the management of venues, clubs and other sports organisations and use the influence of sport to educate the general public, both as spectators and participants, about sustainability issues.

BASIS is a members organisation which officially launched in October 2011, so we are still young and developing, but with great aspirations to influence the way that sport in the UK, at all levels, is managed into the future with an empathy for economic, environmental and social impacts.  

We have already had successes, including our conferences and meetings and links with other international bodies, government, academics and NGOs, and we continue to develop our offering to members. We encourage you to join BASIS so that you can be the first to benefit from our continually evolving offers to members. Be sure to revisit the website regularly for more updates.


What does BASIS offer?

BASIS aims to provide a central resource to promote sustainable development principles throughout the sporting community by encouraging and facilitating peer-to-peer collaboration and discussion between all those concerned with sustainability and sport.

 

BASIS welcomes new members to be part of this exciting group of likeminded individuals, organisations, partners and providers from various organisations and a diversity of sports whose common thread is the desire to manage our sporting activities in a more sustainable way.
