All of the founding members are either individual freelancers or founders of small-scale impact organizations. They recognized the need for a collaborative space for like-minded individuals and organizations and decided to create the Sport Impact Group - a not-for-profit association based in Switzerland, but open to sustainability and impact professionals from around the world.

Our multidisciplinary team provides a holistic approach to sustainability and ESG compliance for sports organizations (such as federations and clubs), sport events, NGOs, and others. We assess the relevance of current and future standards, certifications and frameworks in combination with client needs and priorities to develop individualized sustainability and ESG strategies. Through state-of-the-art to data management we enable easy tracking and reporting, ultimately helping organisations achieve compliance, profit, and impact.

Impact
Consulting

Using similar skills as for our sustainability and ESG consulting, we also work with impact organisations (such as sports organizations, NGOs, not-for-profits, and charities) to refine their impact areas, define strategies, and identify and track appropriate targets and indicators. As with our sustainability and ESG practice, great emphasis is placed on utilizing state-of-the-art data-management to guide governance and implementation, to facilitate reporting to stakeholders and funders, and ultimately to demonstrate impact.

Organisations with comprehensive and effective Sustainability/ESG and Impact Strategies can become very attractive for commercial partners as well as philanthropic and impact investors.
