Decathlon Spain, a company that joined the “Pact for Biodiversity” in 2014, is for the first time among the five finalists of the ‘Green Awards’, promoted by Decathlon International. These awards, the winner of which will be announced in May, recognise the sustainable activity carried out by each entity that is presented.
 
Within the framework of the Spanish Business and Biodiversity Initiative coordinated by the Biodiversity Foundation, Decathlon Spain has developed activities related to the cleaning of beaches, trails and rivers in different cities in Spain such as A Coruña, Malaga or Tarragona.
 
In addition, during 2014, it has carried out various actions under the slogan “Help us take care of your favorite sports space”, with which it sought to reduce the impact of its activity on the environment, uniting environmental conservation and sport, and involving customers and collaborators.
 
The companies that are part of the Spanish Business and Biodiversity Initiative evaluate the impact of their activity on the natural environment and define realistic and quantifiable measures, which must be reviewed every three years, to safeguard biodiversity.
