OUR 2023-24 B CORP IMPACT REPORT
At 17 Sport, our impact is not just measured through the work we do with our clients and partners, but also through how we do our work—our internal governance, how we treat our workforce, and our impact on both the community and the environment.
As a B Corp™, we’re proud to be part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.
Below you will find our second B Corp Impact Report. This is an open and honest update on the progress we have made, the challenges we have encountered during our second year of certification, and our roadmap to recertification.
Why is this important? In sport, life, and business, the only constant is change. As a young business, we are fully committed to progressing with the world, adapting to meet new needs, and evolving as best practices evolve so we can be leaders both in business and sustainability.
Right now, our world faces an era of polycrisis. Co-existing challenges of increasing global inequality, climate change, and major conflict pose an immense threat to humanity. The world has continued to see reverse progress in several UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) areas, and there remains a substantial funding gap of an estimated $4-$4.3 trillion needed to achieve these vital goals.
As António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations succinctly put it: “Unless we act now, the 2030 Agenda will become an epitaph for a world that might have been.”
We are, however, relentlessly optimistic that all is not lost. But we must take action, as businesses and global citizens, to act as a force for good to build a fairer, healthier, and more prosperous world for all.
In the words of B Lab™, a “brighter, bolder, better future won’t happen by itself.”
We hope that by being transparent about our business’ sustainability journey we will succeed in our mission to unleash the transformative power of sport to serve as a force for good.
Let’s get to it. Let’s make every day count.
