FITP publishes the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals’ ESG report to showcase its leadership and responsible governance. The report highlights the main environmental, social and governance results of the event.

The Italian Tennis and Padel Federation (FITP) has published a first-of-its-kind ESG report in the sports sector for the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals ahead of Climate Week. The report aligns with FITP’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework, created in collaboration with Enovation Consulting, to implement new environmental, social and governance initiatives, ensure international best practice is integrated into the event, and demonstrate FITP’s effort in sustainability and responsible governance.

FITP engaged with key stakeholders, prior to the event to plan and implement a range of impactful initiatives aligned with the ESG framework. The successful delivery of these actions was made possible due to the collaborative action between FITP and its stakeholders, maximising the positive impacts generated by working collectively. The report outlines a timeline of FITP’s sustainability efforts since 2021, provides details of over 50 existing and new ESG initiatives that were implemented at the 2024 Nitto ATP Finals, presents a robust carbon footprint baseline for comparison against future events, and gives insights into FITP’s ambitions for future editions of the Nitto ATP Finals.

The 2024 Nitto ATP Finals was the first edition that incorporated environmental, social, and governance factors, having previously prioritised environmental initiatives. In alignment with best practice across the sector, social and governance initiatives were implemented with data collected to measure their impact.

The carbon footprint was based on a comprehensive, robust methodology aligned with the GHG Protocol guidelines and ISO 20121 international standard.

This baseline will be used to assess the impact of future initiatives and has delivered useful insights into the sustainability of the event:

While this year's baseline highlighted the key areas of the 2024 event's carbon footprint, FITP implemented several measures to mitigate its environmental impact, including promoting sustainable fan mobility, using 100% certified renewable energy, and prioritising locally sourced food.
