The jury of the first edition of the Sustainable Sport Awards promoted by the Sponsor an Athlete programme has announced the Contador Foundation as the winner of the Sustainability in Cycling Award.

The award ceremony will take place next Tuesday 28 March in Madrid.

“We have combined something as important as sport with something as necessary in today’s world as sustainability and CSR. We are committed to the promotion of sport from a sustainable point of view and, for this reason, on this occasion we want to recognise those companies that fight for it”, says the organisation.

The Alberto Contador Foundation is a non-profit organisation whose mission is to raise awareness of stroke, the disease suffered by Alberto Contador. They also promote the use of bicycles as a means of sustainable transport and healthy activity.
