ANNE-CÉCILE TURNER

“Sport is a reflection of society. It is not only a great industry to work in, but also shows that you are part of a bigger purpose than just the bottom line.”

Meet Anne-Cécile Turner 🦋,  a sustainability expert, driven by the willingness to contribute to accelerate positive change within organisations. She is the co-founder of bloomUp, mother of 2, outdoor sports practitioner and passionate sailor who has also spent the last 13 years working on Ocean preservation.

SPORT AS A DRIVER FOR SUSTAINABILITY

“I hope to showcase, in a positive and engaging way, how sport can play a role in raising awareness of the planet's situation, engaging people in action, and inspiring others, while of course putting its own house in order!”

HOW SPORT ORGANISATIONS PLAY A ROLE IN PROMOTING ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

“Sports organisations should be at the forefront, as the practice of sport is threatened by many environmental sustainability issues: climate change, severe droughts, extreme heat, biodiversity loss, etc.

“Future trends I foresee include greater integration of sustainability at every level of organisations, more discussions on biodiversity, and a new paradigm shift towards creating net-positive impacts and regenerative principles.”
