Major League Baseball (MLB) has announced environmental services provider WM as its official sustainability partner.
MLB has been awarded ‘Evergreen Status’ from the Council for Responsible Sport for its efforts during last year’s All-Star Week, which is the organisation’s highest honour in sports. The league has also gained recognition from the Green Sports Alliance.
“As with any event driven industry that prioritizes sustainability at our facilities and in our communities, it is critical that we partner with organizations that share similar values in that space,” said Noah Garden, deputy commissioner, business and media, MLB.
“This new partnership with WM takes our sustainability efforts to new heights. We look forward to continuing this work with WM as we host best-in-class events that are sustainability-focused driven for years to come.”
The league will pursue Council for Responsible Sport certification for this season’s All-Star game, following certifications for the last five years.
