Appendix E: The 1997 Ryder Cup and Valderrama – Environmental Management Overview The 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderrama is "Committed to Green". It is the first major golf event to introduce a green dimension in order to demonstrate that golf courses and golf events can be positive role models for environmental good practice. This adds a further distinguishing mark to the 1997 Ryder Cup matches which are being played for the first time ever in Continental Europe. The project is a joint initiative between Valderrama Golf Club, Ryder Cup Limited, the Royal Spanish Golf Federation and the European Golf Association (EGA) Ecology Unity, with co-funding from the European Commission. As this is the first golf event to adopt a green programme, it has been important to set goals which are both worthwhile and achievable without being over ambitious. This is meant to be a foundation for future events to improve upon. Accordingly the environmental package for the 1997 Ryder Cup aims to be challenging enough to demonstrate leadership and commitment, to inspire others and to merit public recognition. The key elements are as follows: Environmental Management at Valderram a The Valderrama management is actively following the certification procedure under the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program. For the last two and a half years the club has also been the lead pilot site in an ECsupported project to develop an Environmental Management Programme for Golf Courses. Accordingly, Valderrama has been working to meet the required standards for: environmental management policies, nature conservation, water management, Integrated Pest Management, waste management, and outreach and education. Environmental Management for the 1997 Ryder Cup A series of measures to demonstrate environmental awareness in the management of a golfing event are being implemented. The principle areas of focus include: • transportation (using shuttles to reduce pollution and congestion and quieter vehicles on the golf course) • waste management (recycling and re-using materials) • infrastructure and construction (site protection, community benefits) • creating partnerships (with sponsors/suppliers, local authorities, environmental groups) Managing and Monitoring Environmental Performance of Sports Events and Facilities 57
