Sustainability goal
TCS is committed to making sporting events around the world more sustainable through technology.
As the title partner of the TCS London Marathon, we use our technical skills and knowledge to help make the event greener. We know that sports can contribute to greater futures for all of us. As a result, participants, spectators and partners increasingly hold athletics to a higher standard.
The ReScore app
We developed ReScore, a cloud-based app, to enable sporting event organisers to measure, report, verify, and certify against sustainability standards set by the Council for Responsible Sport.
These important standards cover five key pillars of sustainable, equitable, and responsible events.
The ReScore app offers best practice guidance to help event organisers understand more about the standards. It enables them to upload evidence to show how they are turning their climate pledges into demonstrable action.

It enabled the event to become the first in the UK to be certified and the biggest running event in the world to receive a gold certification from the Council for Responsible Sport. The ReScore app enabled LME to document their progress across the five key pillars of sustainability:
