Rome runs towards the SDGs
Running is like sustainable living: it requires passion, tenacity and above all constancy! Those who run know that everything depends on the impact with the ground, and to go fast you have to be light on your feet. This is how the Rome Marathon wants to be: light in impact, reaching the finish line fast.
A long-term roadmap launched in 2021 to respond effectively and proactively to the challenges to be faced for a more sustainable marathon, promoted by Infront Italy, Corriere dello Sport – Stadio, Italia Marathon Club and Atielle in collaboration with our Sustainability Partner Circularity – an innovative start-up and benefit company operating in the circular economy.
Our goal is to make Run Rome The Marathon an example of sustainable management, integrating environmental and social sustainability through concrete and measurable initiatives. We aim to engage and inspire stakeholders and partners, fostering collaboration that allows us to reach the same goal together!
──── GOALS ACHIEVED IN 2024
──── SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPEMENT GOALS (SDGs)
On 25th of September 2015 the General Assembly of United Nations adopted the Agenda 2030 for the Sustainable Development, consisting of 17 goals named Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), 169 targets and an action plan for people, planet and prosperity. This intent declaration represents the strategy designed by the Assembly to address global challenges by 2030, recognizing the unsustainability of the current development model and declaring the strong link between man and the planet. Indeed, it overcomes the idea that sustainability is a mere environmental issue, instead preferring a vision that integrates the different dimensions of development: economics, environment, society and institutions.
The Marathon will support Italy and the world in the achievement of some of these Sustainable Development Goal
──── ISO20121 CERTIFIED
The Run Rome the Marathon has obtained, in 2022, ISO 20121 certification for the design, sustainable delivery and reporting of the event, through the certifying body RINA. An important path that saw the active involvement of the entire Organization, accompanied in the certification process by Sustainability partner Circularity.
The ISO 20121 allows the organizations involved to have shared and unified benchmarks in order to prevent, mitigate and offset the possible negative effects caused by events on the environment and local communities whilst enhancing the positive ones.
