at this year’s London Marathon instead of plastic water bottles.</p><p> </p><p>UK
Sport is working alongside several events, providing support as they look into environmentally
friendly delivery options. The upcoming Netball World Cup is currently undergoing

working group, which alongside staff from UK Sport, consists of athletes, venues and
NGB representatives.</p><p> </p><p>UK Sport is also conducting work to place a range
of ethical policies at the heart of all events delivered with government support,
with environmental policies and considerations sitting as a core element of that work.</p>
