Since Golf for Good's launch we have raised over £2,600,000 but there is still much to be done in ensuring a positive long-term impact on the courses, countries and communities we visit. Here is a look at some of the key facts and figures from across our three programmes which make it all possible...
Green Drive
Since the launch of the Green Drive initiative in 2021 and our subsequent pledge to reach Net Zero by 2040, 2024 has been our most sustainable year to date.
• Over two miles of coastline cleared through our beach clean initiatives across coastal courses events in Scotland, Sweden and Spain.
• Water refill stations have become standard practice at all our events and we annually save an average of 50,000 single-use plastic water bottles per event.
• We increased our innovations in energy, utilising more solar panels, batteries and hydrogen at events.
