Singapore Turns 2025 World Aquatic Championships Into Sustainability Showcase
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Singapore’s 2025 World Aquatic Championships will implement innovative sustainability tracking systems, creating a model for eco-friendly global sporting events that reduces environmental impact while engaging athletes and spectators in climate action.
📈 One key stat: The sustainability initiatives will impact over 2,500 athletes and hundreds of thousands of spectators, demonstrating how major sporting events can significantly reduce their carbon footprint.
💬 One key quote: “The World Aquatic Championships represents a perfect platform to demonstrate how major sporting events can drive environmental progress,” noted Gabriel Wong, Executive Director and Co-Founder of MVGX.
1️⃣ The big picture: Singapore is setting new sustainability standards for global sporting events with its approach to the 2025 World Aquatic Championships. MVGX, a leading sustainability solutions provider, has been appointed as the Official Sustainability Solutions Partner to track, manage, and offset the event’s carbon footprint. The championship will feature real-time emissions monitoring across all operations, from venue energy to participant travel, along with innovative fan engagement tools like a Carbon Diary in the official app. This partnership aims to transform what’s typically a resource-intensive global competition into a model of environmental responsibility, extending beyond the event through legacy programs and comprehensive sustainability reports.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This initiative transforms a major sporting event into an opportunity for meaningful climate action rather than an environmental burden. Athletes and spectators will actively participate in sustainability through interactive tools and challenges, creating a culture of environmental awareness. The comprehensive tracking systems provide unprecedented transparency about the carbon impact of large events, establishing best practices for future competitions worldwide. Local communities benefit from educational programs like distributing 50,000 biodegradable plantable pencils to students, extending the environmental impact beyond the competition. The data collected will create a blueprint for sustainable event management that sports federations globally can adopt.
3️⃣ What’s next: MVGX has already begun training vendors and sponsors on sustainability protocols to ensure every element of the competition reflects environmental stewardship. After the event, they’ll deliver a comprehensive sustainability report compliant with Global Reporting Initiative standards, documenting both the environmental impact and innovative solutions implemented. The data and best practices will be shared with international sports federations, creating a blueprint for future championships to follow.
