July 23, 2024 – Front Office Sports today announced Spectrum Center as one of 10 recipients of its inaugural Most Sustainable Awards. The list was created in collaboration with Sports Innovation Lab to rank sports organizations and properties leveraging their reach, influence and resources to safeguard the planet.

 

Organizations and properties across the industry submitted applications and responded to questions about their carbon and greenhouse gas reduction, nature restoration and preservation, water conservation, waste diversion, measurement of impact and goal-setting, and organizational structure and culture, and the responses were scored accordingly. The organizations and properties with proven exceptional innovation in, and commitment to, a greener legacy for sports were selected following this competitive process.

 

“We’re honored to be recognized by Front Office Sports for our sustainability efforts,” said Hornets Sports & Entertainment Executive Vice President & Spectrum Center General Manager Donna Julian. “We’re highly dedicated to promoting environmental awareness not only within our arena but also among fans in our community and across the Carolinas. This continues to be a key focus during our RE!magine Spectrum Center arena renovation project taking place this summer and next summer.”

 

Along with Spectrum Center, recipients include Gillette Stadium, GOAL (Green Operations & Advanced Leadership), Liverpool FC, Moda Center, NC State Athletics, SailGP, UBS Arena, WM and the World Surf League.
