Sustainability

We’re on a mission to drive positive change in our industry—and we’re making great progress! Responsible behavior and sustainable practices are at the core of how SIS Pitches operates.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility

We’re committed to our business being a force for environmental and social good. Many businesses may say something similar but with us, it is demonstrated by an external third party saying the same thing. We are very proud of being the first and only B-Corp organisation in our industry.

Dedicated to balancing purpose and profit, we closely monitor and look to improve our social and environmental performance, our transparency and accountability. But it’s not just about us, we’re striving to provide increasingly more sustainable solutions for our customers too. We’re always looking to decrease our reliance on fossil fuels, to empower our people and limit our environmental impact on the planet.

Certified B Corporation

Our B Corp certification took a total of two years to obtain. We are the first and only B Corp in our industry. The rigorous assessment process gives us third party assurance that we are striving to be a positive influence on society and the environment.

Our B-Corp status

Our eight sustainability commitments provide the framework for how we try to make a difference.

Organic Infill

We’ve thoroughly researched and tested potential solutions to the upcoming microplastics ban. Participating in trials at test hubs, we’ve been using a highly engineered pine wood infill particle, specifically designed to improve traction and reduce artificial turf heat.

A special conditioning process was developed to make the tiny wood particles smooth, rounded, and splinter-free, providing the perfect balance of performance, safety and drainage.

BIOGRASS

Leading the industry in biodegradable polymers, we’ve developed a synthetic hybrid grass yarn that breaks down over time without sacrificing on stability and strength. Committed to changing the game, we’ve worked with some of Europe’s top clubs to test it in the ground on first team pitches.

RECYCLING PRIORITIES

Recovery and recycling of materials is a core commitment for SIS Pitches. We remain committed to working with partners to recycle uplifted, end of life pitches. We recover all pitch materials including infill, and recycle shockpads and carpet wherever practical. Often being repurposed into sports seating and infill-containing kickboards around the perimeter of new sports pitches.

Current policy work within the sector is continuously monitored and we ensure it is integrated firmly into our business strategy. As a proud B Corp that is committed to innovation, we are constantly seeking ways to develop new technologies, processes and methods to enhance recycling within our industry.
