BIKE SHARE PROGRAM Provides bikes and encourages employees

to use an alternative means of transportation when traveling back and forth from the NovaCare Complex to Lincoln Financial Field.

2018 Annual ReportWhat started with a blue recycling bin under each

employee’s desk in 2003 has grown into a company-wide sustainability program that works year-round to reduce the team’s environmental footprint.

With the help of partners and fans, the Eagles have been able to develop a multi-year curriculum and action plan that incorporates green energy production, recycling, composting, energy efficiency and reforestation, among other ventures.

The Eagles, who wear the color “green” with pride, are committed to serving as environmental stewards for a community that gives so much to them throughout the year.

LEED GOLD STATUS

Lincoln Financial Field achieved LEED Gold status by the U.S. Green Building Council for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

ISO 20121 CERTIFIEDThe Eagles became the first professional sports team to

receive ISO 20121 certification, an international standard designed to help organizations integrate sustainability into management practices and processes.

COMPOSTABLE STRAWSWith Aramark’s help, the Eagles

phased out traditional plastic straws and now utilize a plastic alternative made from 100% renewable resources. The Eagles became the first team in the famed South Philadelphia sports complex to make the switch, eliminating the use of roughly 500,000 plastic straws annually. According to research, the number of plastic straws used by Americans in a single day can circle the Earth two and a half times.

BIKE SHARE PROGRAMEncourages employees to use an alternative means of transportation when traveling back and forth from the NovaCare Complex to Lincoln Financial Field.

SEPTA key cards have been purchased for employees when traveling to business events downtown.

CLOSED-LOOP RECYCLING PROGRAMAs partners in recycling, the Eagles and

Braskem created a closed-loop recycling program that collects bottle caps at Lincoln Financial Field and turns them into new material for use at the stadium. One immediate result of these recycled bottle caps

was the creation of an eight-foot tall replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, commemorating the team’s Super Bowl LII victory. The statue is housed on HeadHouse Plaza where fans can learn about plastics recycling and other sustainability initiatives.
