Sport and Climate Action
Make climate action practical and relevant to the sports community.
SOG CSR EVENTS
Sport, Sustainability and Social Impact in Africa.
SOG CSR Events creates a platform for using the power and reach of sport to address the challenges facing our communities.
WHY THIS MATTERS
The future of sport is connected to the world around it.
Africa is facing growing challenges from climate change, environmental degradation, public health risks, youth unemployment and social inequality. These challenges affect communities and increasingly influence the future of sport, from playing conditions and infrastructure to the health, safety and wellbeing of athletes and fans.
Our work is guided by our core principle of Planet, People and Performance, recognising that a sustainable sports ecosystem must protect the planet, put people at the centre and strengthen the long term performance and resilience of sport.
ONE SHARED PRINCIPLE
- PlanetProtect our environment
- PeoplePut communities first
- PerformanceBuild resilience in sport

A wider framework for responsible sport.
Our programmes are informed by international frameworks and initiatives, including the UNFCCC Sports for Climate Action Framework, the UN Sustainable Development Goals, FIFA and CAF sustainability priorities, and wider principles relating to human rights, safeguarding and responsible sport.
Through SOG CSR Events, we seek to turn awareness into action and use sport as a platform for a healthier planet, empowered people and stronger sporting performance.
DIGITAL TRACKING FOR IMPACT
Accountability from the start.
