Is sports and sustainability your game?

At a time when the EU is raising its climate ambitions and promising to reduce its emissions, sport must also jump on the bandwagon and accelerate its ecological transition. How do you prepare for this future with the community houses, ice rinks, outdoor facilities, sports halls, stadiums, swimming pools and more?

On June 13, 2024 the PlayGreen Summit takes place at the Duurzaamheidsfabriek Dordrecht, The Netherlands.

Experience 50 European companies showcasing their innovative and sustainable approaches for sports facilities. Discover them at the EXPO. An extensive CONFERENCE program brings you the latest insights on sustainability in sports with international speakers. Go to the program below to see who you can meet. If you like to visit a part of the summit, feel welcome as well.

During the Summit we launch the PlayGreen eMagazine with extensive profiles, inspiring stories and sustainable thoughts.

This summit is dedicated to representatives of municipalities, national governments, regional governments, sports facilities, stadiums and universities.

The PlayGreen Initiative generates an overview of European companies bringing sustainable solutions to the sports facilities.
