On this special episode recorded for SportsPro’s Impact Week, editorial director Michael Long is joined by Wayne Mumford, sports and leisure director at RSK Group.
As one of the world’s leading sustainable engineering companies, RSK has built its sprawling business implementing sustainable solutions across a range of sectors, from water to energy - and now it’s turning its attention to sport.
Mumford, a former commercial director in soccer, joins the show to discuss his personal experience of operating in the industry and why sports organisations need to get serious about environmental sustainability – not only for the good of the planet, but for the benefit of their balance sheet. He also lifts the lid on RSK’s business model and how it’s helping clubs and venue operators achieve both short and long-term savings through investments in sustainable infrastructure.
Key talking points:
- Why most loss-making soccer clubs are sitting on an untapped revenue opportunity
- The challenge of getting sustainability on the boardroom agenda
- Balancing short-term commercial imperatives with sustained environmental action
- Sport’s wider role and influence in tackling climate change
