Building a World-Class ESG Strategy: Arena Group's Global Ambition

What does sustainability look like when your business builds the infrastructure for the world's biggest sports events?

In this episode, Alex Smith is joined by Paul Berger, Group CEO of Arena Group, the company behind the temporary structures, grandstands, and hospitality venues at events including the Paris Olympics, FIFA World Cup, and Wimbledon.

Paul shares the story behind Arena's first global ESG strategy, why a company already doing so much good had to bring it all together under one framework, and what it means to embed sustainability into the DNA of a fast-moving, high-pressure global business.

From managing supply chains across four continents to converting a Paris rugby stadium into an Olympic swimming venue, this conversation explores the real business case for ESG; and what progress over perfection actually looks like in practice.

If you're a business leader thinking about how to move from fragmented sustainability efforts to a coherent, credible strategy, this episode is for you.

Arena Group is a retained FuturePlus sustainability partner, IMPACT CERTIFIED, and works with FuturePlus across consultancy services including PlusCarbon and fractionalised Head of Sustainability support.
