The U.S. golf industry recognizes sustainability as the integration of environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic viability as a critical and never-ending goal. The golf industry embraces sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”
Sustainability is about the “triple bottom line” – people, planet, and profit
Sustainable practices consider the environment, the community and the financial requirements that contribute to the long-term success of the golf industry.
Virtually every industry today faces environmental scrutiny and challenges, whether from government regulation or public perception. The golf course industry recognizes the need for a sustainability plan that is focused, organized, and fosters collaboration, unity, transparency, and participation as important principal elements.
