Volleyball Ireland aiming for sustainability
News
Volleyball Ireland has announced a new collaboration with Impact 3 Zero, a dedicated sports and sustainability ‘impact agency’ aimed at helping Volleyball Ireland build a comprehensive sustainability strategy and shape the healthiest future for itself, community and environment.
“Our new engagement with Impact 3 Zero makes complete sense,” says Gary Stewart, CEO at Volleyball Ireland. “As one of our key formats, Beach Volleyball is at a literal threat from climate change, we want to do all we can to protect our natural environment for the sport. However, sustainability is about more than just environmental considerations. This project will also focus on educational, equality and diversity issues which are close to our heart.”
Gary Stewart“Volleyball has always led the way in this area with the FIVB’s Good Net Project and the CEV’s Green Way and Green Hub programmes. We want to ensure that in Ireland, Volleyball will be driving change for the wider good.”
