The Council for Responsible Sport (CRS) operates within the spectator sports sector, focusing on advancing environmental and social responsibility through collaboration with community partners. Its primary contribution is a certification program for events, modeled after established green standards, which helps event directors integrate sustainability and social impact criteria while signaling higher standards to consumers. CRS also runs a Community of Practice that brings together leaders from the sports industry to establish best practices and drive systemic greening efforts. Based in Portland, Oregon, CRS positions itself as a coalition that leverages external tools and expertise to effect change across the sports industry. Its activities include recognizing events at various levels of certification, and collaborating with organizations to develop and expand digital tools for measuring and certifying sustainability performance. The organization describes itself as a small team focused on strategic alliances and cooperative solutions to promote responsible practices in sport.
