Introduction

Croke Park Stadium has been at the heart of Irish sporting life for over a hundred years and is now leading the way in sustainability. 

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) was set up by the Government in 2002 as Ireland’s national energy authority. Their mission is to play a leading role in transforming Ireland into a society based on sustainable energy structures, technologies and practices

Taking what the stadium has learned and using the expertise of SEAI, Croke Park presents Greener Games.

 

Greener Games is a sustainable energy and environmental initiative which aims to educate clubs, facilities or businesses in sustainable practices. This conference and training day, organised by Croke Park in conjunction with SEAI will focus on key aspects to help your club or organisation in reducing costs and saving money by being more sustainable and environmentally aware.

 

Croke Park’s environmental and sustainability management systems and initiatives will be a key focus along with case studies from other sports facilities plus key tips and advice for getting started on energy management from SEAI. Having attended the event you will be equipped to start the Greener Games journey and out sustainable practices into operation to ultimately benefit your organisation.

 

The session will conclude with a Stadium tour where staff will take you through the fascinating history of Croke Park and present a behind the scenes look at Ireland’s largest Stadium. Here you will witness environmental and sustainability practices in operation during pre match preparations.
