Horse Racing Ireland (HRI) has launched a new podcast series in partnership with The Irish Field to support the racing and breeding industries on their sustainability journey. The five-episode series addresses key topics such as energy conservation, biodiversity, grants, workplace wellbeing, and sustainable racecourse operations. Featuring expert guests including jockeys, trainers, breeders, racecourse managers, and representatives from environmental and agricultural bodies, the podcasts aim to provide practical guidance and resources to help the equine industry adopt more sustainable practices. Each episode is named after a famous racehorse linked to the topic discussed, making the content accessible and engaging for listeners.
This initiative aligns with HRI’s Sustainability Strategy 2024 and reflects a broader commitment to environmental responsibility within the sport. The podcasts are designed to be informative yet approachable, encouraging even those with limited prior knowledge to consider small changes in their professional and personal routines. Additionally, Sport for Business highlights upcoming events focused on sustainability and social good in sport, further promoting awareness and action within the wider sporting community.
