BASIS - The British Association for Sustainable Sport

Announcing 2025 BASIS Awards Shortlists

We’ve been blown away by the calibre of entries for this year’s BASIS Awards. From some of the most iconic venues in world sport to grassroots organisations making a difference in their communities every day, the passion for sustainability in sport is stronger than ever.

Thank you to everyone who entered. Every submission reflected real commitment, creativity and impact – and made our job incredibly difficult. Shortlisting was no small task, and we’re grateful to our brilliant panel of judges who are grappling with the even tougher challenge of selecting the winners.

We’re thrilled to reveal the shortlisted organisations for the 2025 BASIS Awards – trailblazers, changemakers, and champions of a more sustainable future for sport. These finalists don’t just talk about climate responsibility and social impact – they live it, lead it, and inspire others to follow.
