England’s football industry supports over a hundred thousand jobs in the UK, paying more than £2.4 billion in taxes and adding £3.4 billion to the country’s GDP. 2016/17 saw the Premier League alone enjoying revenues of over £4.5 billion, yet the industry is scoring more than just profits.
By committing to reducing energy, plastic and water waste fans can enjoy the start of the Premier League with a clean conscious, before following in the sustainable footsteps of these football giants.
Suppliers’ ability to deliver ethically sourced goods is key to the success of a football team’s sustainability pledge.
While collecting all the information required to demonstrate stadiums operate sustainably can be an erroneous and repetitive task, the use of ARCUS® SIM allows suppliers to on-board with ease.
Suppliers are responsible for completing questionnaires tailored to company’s requirements, and uploading documentation such as Modern Slavery and sustainability statements which are verified by artificial intelligence at the point of upload to ensure their validity.
Using SIM, companies and teams are able to choose the right supplier for them in line with company requirements before centrally storing all supplier information and documentation.
Customers and fans are more concerned than ever before about sustainability and the ethical practices of a company or club, and any incorrect sustainability claims have the potential to ruin a team’s reputation.
SIM saves time which would be spent chasing suppliers for information, while increasing accuracy, reducing the need to re-key data, and ensuring compliance with government and team legislation.
