The broader view
At Infront, we believe that integrating Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our operations is essential for creating a positive impact on the world.
This dedication is exemplified in our recently released 2023 Sustainability Report. This comprehensive document highlights our strides in promoting environmental responsibility, social impact, and strong governance.
One of the standout achievements this year is a more sustainable event production at major events like the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the Rugby World Cup. Through increased remote production, repurposing of existing infrastructure and alternative energy sources, our host broadcaster HBS demonstrates a clear commitment to green initiatives.
We’ve also seen a tremendous success of our Active Lifestyle events, through which we convey the joy of movement and promote public health. Through dedicated programs, our UK-based events agency, Threshold Sports aims at making outdoor sports more accessible, particularly for females and underrepresented communities, underlining our mission to promote health and inclusivity across all our initiatives.
Moreover, our adoption of a revised Code of Conduct and re-certification in ISO standards showcases our unwavering commitment to integrity and compliance.
