UPS Joins GEO to Spotlight Sustainability in Golf
GEO is the only international non-government organization dedicated entirely to helping golf achieve its potential as an asset to people and planet. As a non-profit body, GEO is supported by a global network of golf, environmental, scientific, and corporate partners - all of whom are themselves committed to playing a part in driving the sector’s performance. GEO’s commitment is to deliver the most up to date, practical and straightforward guidance and recognition in the golf industry, which has recognized the clear business benefits of sustainable development. In reference to the partnership, Ron Rogowski, Director of Global Sponsorships at UPS added: “We work and support sustainability efforts across many other sectors in which we are active. The Golf Environment Organization has demonstrated to us that they are clearly a well engaged, dynamic partner that has definite plans about how golf can adopt more environmentally-responsible business practices. “ Jonathan Smith, Chief Executive of the Golf Environment Organization responded: “GEO is committed to delivering comprehensive and productive sustainability programming for an international industry. This new partnership with UPS will increase the reach and effectiveness of GEO’s programming, draw attention to achievements in different parts of the sector, and ultimately catalyse wider sustainability action in golf.” Source; Golf Environment Organization |
