  • We’re thrilled to announce our next Sport Impact Champion: Andy Donaldson! 🌊💪

@andy.swimming 

Andy is not just an ultra-marathon swimmer—he’s a pioneer redefining what’s possible in open water. From conquering the Oceans Seven challenge, becoming the first person ever to complete the world’s seven toughest channel swims within a single year, to holding records like the British fastest English Channel crossing (8:00) and the world record for the Cook Strait (4:33), his achievements are extraordinary.

But what truly makes Andy an inspiration is not just his speed or endurance—it’s his purpose.

As Andy says:

"For me, it's not just about the swim, it's about what it stands for. It’s about showing that each of us has the power to create change, inspire others, and leave the world a little better than we found it."

Aligned with our Legacy Pillar, Andy embodies the belief that sport has the power to leave a lasting positive impact—far beyond the finish line.

Please join us in welcoming Andy to the Sport Impact Champions community as we continue to celebrate individuals who inspire change and help shape a better future through sport.

  • 🌊 New Sport Impact Champion - Paddleboarding Pioneer – David Haze 🌊

We’re honoured to welcome David Haze to the Sport Impact Summit, where he joins us as a powerful advocate for sustainability, human health, and equality & inclusion through the lens of stand-up paddleboarding (SUP).
David’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. After his release from prison in 2020, he made a promise to himself – to become the man he was meant to be. Through open water, he found not just freedom, but purpose. 
Since then, David has:
🏆 Been named Ocean Activist of the Year
🏆 Won International SUP Man of the Year
🎥 Won SUP Film of the Year
🌍 Set eight world records, becoming the most decorated SUP adventurer globally
♻️ Completed net-zero expeditions, including paddling around the Isle of Wight on a board made from rubbish (it didn’t survive – but he did)
🌲 Planted 110 trees in a prison yard to offset travel and give others a space for healing
David doesn’t just talk about impact – he lives it. Each expedition is aligned to a cause he believes in, from ocean health to restorative justice. His work brings powerful attention to environmental stewardship, and the transformative role sport can play for individuals and communities.
We’re proud to have David as part of the Sport Impact community – his story is a reminder that sport changes lives, and that sustainability and second chances can go hand-in-hand.
Welcome, David. 🌎💙

  • Impact Alert!!!

🌊 Welcome our new Impact Champion: Sally Kettle 🌊

Two Time Atlantic Ocean rower. World record holder. Tireless sustainability and Human Health advocate.

We’re thrilled to have Sally join the Sport Impact Summit as one of our 2025 Impact Champions.

With a powerful voice for equity, inclusion, and community wellbeing, Sally brings a wealth of lived experience and passion for movement that changes lives.

Here’s what she had to say about joining the Summit:

“I’m honoured to be part of the Sport Impact Summit because I believe sport has the power to transform lives—and to open doors for those who are too often left on the side-lines. Through my work with Girl guiding and The Active Pregnancy Foundation, I’ve seen first-hand how movement can build confidence, connection, and lasting change. My mission is simple: to help create a healthier nation, one mum-to-be, one girl, one community at a time. At the core of everything I do is a belief in true equity, diversity, and inclusion—because everyone deserves the chance to feel the joy and empowerment that sport can bring.”

Sally, we’re proud to have you on board. Let’s make impact happen. 💥

  • The 153rd Open @ Royal Portrush

Sustainability Sells — When It’s Done Right.

At this year’s Open Championship, sustainability wasn’t just a CSR checkbox.

It was smart business — and a blueprint for how major events can drive value through climate leadership. 💡🌍

Here’s how The Open is raising the bar:

✅ Commercialising Sustainability

From @mastercard to @rolex , sponsors aren’t just after visibility. They want value alignment, ESG credibility, and impact they can stand behind.

✅ @refloofficial ® x The Open

A first-of-its-kind partnership brought sustainable sportswear brand Reflo into the merchandise ecosystem — showing how purpose-driven brands can thrive in elite sport when values align.

✅ Circular Infrastructure

Working with Arena The Open delivered modular, reusable event design — from grandstands to hospitality pods — reducing waste and building legacy.

✅ Sustainability = Fan Experience

 Eco-travel, refill stations, EV hubs, and climate storytelling didn’t just cut carbon — they engaged the next-gen sports fan.

What does this mean for sport?

Sustainability isn't just a responsibility.

It’s a competitive advantage. A brand magnet. A ticket to long-term relevance.

At Sport Impact Summit 2025, we’ll be spotlighting The Open and other global models showing how sport can lead the sustainability shift — and win commercially while doing it.
