Sustainable Event Program

Sustainable Event Certification

Sustainable Event Certification

While the events organised under World Triathlon showcase the sport and contribute to its influence, they also have a negative impact on the environment. The Sustainable Event Program offers event organisers the tools to measure and reduce the impact of their events and transition towards a more environmentally and socially sustainable event program.

The program features four achievement levels to recognize the level of commitment and progress across the categories of engagement.
