ABSTRACT

The delivery of the industry's core business is sport and recreation for spectatorship and participation. In the global market of environmental accountancy, measurement, and economics, there are several standards of framing, measuring, costing, and valuating, which often vary based on geographical and regional standards and related governance and sector specifics and unique impacts. At a sector and industry level, a number of measurement frameworks, indicators, and tools have been developed; for the sport and recreation industry, the need for these to direct environmental improvement is growing. Some certifications can assess a number of variables and factors, including the built environment and the level or quality of stakeholder use. The benefit of such a standard is that it complements many of the existing built environment certifications. As a result of the prominence of built environment evaluation, the sport and recreation industry has explored building design and construction sector certifications as starting options in environmental sustainability certification.
