The Atlanta Braves organization proudly supports and encourages sustainability practices across all platforms including eco-conscious partnerships, community outreach programs, fan-facing opportunities and back-of-house operations.
This commitment was in the forefront in the planning and design of Truist Park and resulted in a LEED Certified Silver – New Construction designation. With a 30,000 gallon in-ground water retention tank used for field maintenance, LED lighting throughout the building, low-flow water fixtures, and centralized utility control systems, Truist Park and the Atlanta Braves serve as an example of best practices throughout Major League Baseball.

Food Recovery
The Atlanta Braves partner with Second Helpings Atlanta to recover excess food from Truist Park at the end of each homestand. Tens of thousands of pounds of food every year are rescued and served to communities experiencing food insecurity.
Atlanta Braves Green Team
The Green Team, a partnership between the Braves, WestRock, Coca-Cola, and Ball Corporation, activates at Truist Park during select games each season. Volunteers in green t-shirts walk around the stadium and down the aisles in between innings to collect recyclables from fans and encourage environmental responsibility.
