Strategy to Action
Turn sustainability ambitions into clear priorities, responsibilities and a practical route forward.
Strategy to Action is for sport organisations developing or refreshing a sustainability strategy, or struggling to turn existing commitments into implementation. The focus is on creating something practical that people can understand, own and use.

In practice: World Taekwondo
I supported the development of World Taekwondo's sustainability strategy and remained involved as an adviser through implementation. The work has expanded into governance and progress tracking, reporting, climate action, sustainable competition tools, education and other practical systems - helping connect strategic direction with day-to-day delivery.
