We are committed to actively empowering and strengthening the communities we serve, including the millions of people that travel through our portfolio of venues around the world. We recognize and embrace our responsibility as global citizens to mobilize and scale our resources to connect people and inspire positive and substantive change around the globe.
Building on our proven success and innovative approach at Climate Pledge Arena, the Oak View Group is committed to addressing the sustainability challenges of today.
We’re aiming beyond zero, towards a positive future for our planet and people – and are committed to working across our business – including corporate operations, owned & operated venues, facilities managed, and hospitality – to accelerate action. We recognize our sustainability journey will be ever-evolving, and look forward to adapting over time, while staying steadfast in our commitment to positive impact.
Achieving
net zero emissions
Climate change poses significant threat to current and future generations. We are actively working to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with all operations of our business.
We will achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2040 across OVG’s owned & operated venues.
Championing
Water Stewardship
Everyone deserves access to clean water. We are focusing on improving water efficiency at our venues, taking a localized approach with an emphasis on water-scarce regions.
Advancing
Waste Diversion
The live events industry generates significant waste. We prioritize waste reduction solutions and aim to donate, reuse, compost, and recycle across OVG’s portfolio.
We will divert at least 90% of waste across OVG’s owned & operated venues, from landfill or incineration by 2035.
Strengthening
Community Resilience
Every community faces unique challenges when it comes to building resilience. We aim for our positive impact to go beyond the walls of our facilities, and into the communities we are a part of.
In addition to OVG’s social responsibility programming, we will support community-based non-profits and ecosystem restoration projects.
Oak View Group is dedicated to Social Impact & Cultural Engagement by actively building and empowering the tapestry of communities we touch. We champion employee-led community impact, act as a good corporate neighbor by responding to local needs and promoting civic health and strategically leverage OVG’s global presence for positive societal contributions. By centering impact, engagement, and the power of live events in our venues as cultural hubs, we work to ensure that OVG’s success is a catalyst for equity, connection, and empowerment everywhere we operate.

Through on-campus activations like career fairs, workshops, and networking events, students discover career pathways in sports, live entertainment, and hospitality while gaining not only skills, but also social capital to strengthen their professional networks.
Selected participants receive immersive, behind-the-scenes exposure at premier OVG events and venues—shadowing teams, contributing to real projects, and engaging in day-to-day operations.
