Giro d'Italia: an analysis of social and environmental impacts to kick-start an evolution

This year the Giro d'Italia has chosen to map the environmental and social impacts of the event with the support of NATIVA. A fundamental first step to influence future sustainable choices. The project, which will be described in a dedicated Report, involves the entire ecosystem through a quantitative and qualitative analysis.

The world of events and sports, like any human activity, generates an impact. As such it has the opportunity to contribute to solving the challenges of the 21st century, and be a positive force to drive change. The industry can choose to evolve its culture and impacts, engaging and inspiring millions of people and fans along the way.

In this context, the Giro d’Italia has chosen to undertake with NATIVA a project to map its environmental, social and economic impacts. NATIVA is a Regenerative Design Company with distinctive leadership at a European level in sustainable innovation to accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable and regenerative paradigm.

 

Nativa

The project foresees a deep involvement of those who create and live the event every year – the Giro d’Italia organisation itself, suppliers and partners, the local communities, the athletes, as well as the large pool of spectators – in an analysis that will collect data of more than 150 KPIs across 5 areas sustainability-linked: Circularity, Natural Capital, Climate Resilience, Education and Involvement, Wellbeing, Happiness and Health. Therefore, both the tangible impacts as well as the intangible value of such sports event’s DNA will be considered in the analysis: the wellbeing of the people and the impact on the territories.

The objective is clear: to understand where the Giro stands today and to chart the way for future evolution, together with the entire ecosystem. Narrating the results, best practices, areas for improvement, and the contribution that stakeholders can and want to make in an in-depth, accurate and transparent manner in a Report during 2023.
