綠色發球：沃爾沃中國公開賽如何打出ESG新局

體育賽事不只是競技與榮耀的展示場，它們也正逐步成為 ESG（環境、社會與公司治理）行動的全新實驗場域。2025 年沃爾沃中國公開賽的遷址，正是這場轉變的縮影。從深圳的「隱秀高爾夫俱樂部」轉戰上海「安亭益新高爾夫俱樂部」，不只是場地調整，更是一場永續理念的接力傳承。

Sports Events Are Evolving: The Volvo China Open Becomes a New Testing Ground for ESG in 2025

Sports events are no longer just arenas for competition and glory - they are fast becoming experimental grounds for ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) action. The relocation of the 2025 Volvo China Open is a microcosm of this shift. Moving from Shenzhen’s Hidden Grace Golf Club to Anting Yixin Golf Club in Shanghai was not merely a change of venue, but a handover of a sustainable legacy.

不只是換場地，而是接續永續火炬

「這不僅是換個城市，更是一場理念的交棒。」沃爾沃中國公開賽主席趙茜（Michel Zhao）如此定義這次遷址。作為歐巡賽（DP World Tour）旗艦永續倡議「Green Drive」的一環，本屆賽事肩負的不只是運動使命，還包含碳中和、在地採購、減塑、綠能與循環經濟等 ESG 要件。

Not Just a New Venue - But a New Torch for Sustainability

「我們致力於每一處細節的完美，包括節能節水、永續餐飲到廢棄物分類，全面對齊 Green Drive 的高標準。」安亭益新高爾夫俱樂部執行董事凌志剛（Ozzie Ling）指出。

“This isn’t just a change of city; it’s a passing of the torch in values,” said Michel Zhao, Chair of the Volvo China Open. As part of the DP World Tour’s flagship sustainability initiative, Green Drive, this year’s tournament carries more than a sporting mission - it also embraces carbon neutrality, local sourcing, plastic reduction, green energy, and circular economy principles.

“We’re committed to perfection in every detail - from energy and water conservation to sustainable dining and waste sorting - all aligned with Green Drive’s high standards,” noted Ozzie Ling, Executive Director of Anting Yixin Golf Club.

轉型中的場地：第一次，也是新的起點

對於已有 20 年歷史、首次承辦 DP World Tour 的安亭益新來說，這是轉型與蛻變的開始。俱樂部早已被列為全球 60 大白金級高爾夫鄉村俱樂部之一，這讓它在追求國際競技標準的同時，也具備了厚實的營運與 ESG 基礎。

而這場賽事也將是俱樂部 ESG 實力的一次公開測試。

沃爾沃中國公開賽此次的 ESG 實踐，不是喊口號，而是處處見真章：

A Transforming Venue: A First, and a New Beginning

For Anting Yixin, a 20-year-old club hosting its first DP World Tour event, the occasion marks the start of a transformation. Already ranked among the world’s Top 60 Platinum Golf & Country Clubs, it brings robust operational and ESG foundations to meet international standards.

And this tournament serves as a public test of the club’s ESG capabilities.

[The ESG Action Blueprint] - Redefining Tournament Culture Through the Details

The Volvo China Open’s ESG initiatives go beyond slogans - they’re evident in every facet of the event:

社會永續：不只是環境，還有人

ESG 不止於環保，沃爾沃此次也推出兩項社會關懷專案：

此外，大會設立的「公共體驗村」也展出 Volvo 的永續生活商品系列，包括用松脂與回收寶特瓶製成的 Norico 系列，以及以咖啡渣為材的 Kaka 保溫杯，兩者皆曾榮獲 2024 年倫敦設計獎。

三十而立，ESG 引領賽事進化

Social Sustainability: It’s Not Just About the Environment - It’s About People

ESG goes beyond environmental responsibility. Volvo also introduced two social welfare projects during the event:

The public "Experience Village" also showcased Volvo's sustainable lifestyle products, such as the Norico series made from pine resin and recycled PET bottles, and the Kaka thermal mug crafted from coffee grounds - both winners of the 2024 London Design Awards.

30 Years Strong: ESG Leads the Evolution of the Tournament

作為邁入 30 週年的紀念賽事，沃爾沃中國公開賽選擇用 ESG 寫下新的里程碑。這不只是環保意識的展現，更是體育賽事如何成為推動社會進步、地方共融與文化教育的重要平台。

Celebrating its 30th anniversary, the Volvo China Open marks this milestone by turning ESG into its newest legacy. This is more than just an environmental commitment - it’s a demonstration of how sports events can drive social progress, local inclusion, and cultural education.

「這些挑戰，正好也是新的契機。」趙茜說。「我們希望能夠讓更多人因為這場賽事，接觸永續、認識高爾夫，並從中啟發更多未來的可能性。」

“These challenges are also opportunities,” said Michel Zhao. “We hope this tournament can introduce more people to sustainability, to golf, and inspire future possibilities.”

如果說體育是一面鏡子，那麼沃爾沃中國公開賽的 ESG 轉型，正反映出一個綠色未來的縮影。在這場融合競技、設計與責任的賽事中，我們看到的不只是球場上的對決，更是價值觀的落實與未來願景的鋪陳。

If sports are a mirror, then the ESG transformation of the Volvo China Open reflects a green future in the making. In this convergence of competition, design, and responsibility, what we witness is not just a tournament - but the embodiment of values and the blueprint for a better tomorrow.
