We all have a responsibility to respect the environment and contribute to society. We aspire to organise sport events with a commitment to sustainability and a valued partner like Mondo will help us in our ambitions.” Maurizio Stroppiana, MONDO Sport Division Manager, said, “We are proud of having designed and developed track surfaces that not only support athletes’ performances, but can actively contribute to the air quality of the athletic facilities, creating a better space both for training and competing.” The first event with Mondo as Official Supplier was the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Glasgow at the weekend.
