Sustainability & Corporate Social Values Manager, The Jockey Club
Kirstin McEvoy is the Sustainability & Corporate Social Values Manager for The Jockey Club where she has worked for eleven years. She is also an active member of BASIS, the British Association for Sustainability in Sport, where she has held various roles, including as a director, since its inception. Having created a new role at The Jockey Club to focus entirely on improving the organisation’s sustainability and reducing its impact on the environment, a background in analysis was a useful start point to pull together data and set challenging targets for improvement. Significant reductions in energy consumption and improvements in waste management have been achieved with the support of the employee engagement programme ‘Going Green’ which Kirstin introduced in 2013.
