This program includes the values that a sports club should have with respect to an environmentalist approach: what kind of activities the sports clubs can arrange; which materials they can use etc. This program is a testing or evaluating program of the sports clubs’ governance and activities, and it will help the sports clubs to observe and evaluate themselves with respect to the environmentalist approach and an encouraging/motivating program for environmentalist activities.
