Developing an Action Plan Environmental Management Systems With a general understanding of the most pertinent issues it is possible to prepare an Action Plan which will manage and monitor the environmental performance of a sport event. However, before choosing the action items, an event organiser would do well to create a proper environmental management system to ensure effective development and execution of the plan. The following sections outline the structural and conceptual groundwork needed to create an Action Plan. Organisational Structure A good structure for environmental management takes a top-down and bottom-up approach. First, support for this shift to sustainable practices must come from the top. Not only must the most senior people be interested in the cause, they must be seen to be so. Second, people throughout the organisation must be and feel part of such an initiative. This requires that all members of the organisation be involved in the development, implementation, monitoring and enforcement of the initiative (see Appendix A item (ii) under Environmental Management Systems). Environmental Policy An organisation committed to better environmental management must first define its goals. Once this is accomplished, it is necessary to elaborate the policies, strategies and initiatives by which the goals will be achieved. A policy statement should be supplemented with a series of specific objectives and, where possible, with assignments of responsibility as well as deadlines for completion (see Appendix A). Specific Objectives and Targets Only by knowing the state of the environment before applying measures can an organisation set any objectives. It is important to carry out an environmental audit (i.e. energy and water consumption and waste generation) of facilities and operations to ascertain to what extent they are in compliance with environmental regulations and to establish a "baseline" or starting point for your initiatives. From the results of the audit, determine the specific targets and monitor these as often as is viable Managing and Monitoring Environmental Performance of Sports Events and Facilities 8
