About the Report
37% of US-based professional sports* venues participated in our 2024 survey.
APTIM’s SSI is a detailed survey collecting self-reported sustainability data from professional and collegiate sports leagues and venues across North America. Our mission is to provide the sports industry with valuable benchmarking information to advance sustainability through their operations, programs, and initiatives.
Key findings are reported in two ways: customized reports delivered to participants and this public benchmarking report, which shares anonymized industry trends.
