A green tournament

The Pulcino d’Oro has always placed great importance on environmental sustainability, actively working to reduce its impact on the planet and raise awareness among young athletes and spectators about a crucial issue for the future of our environment.

In the latest edition, reusable ceramic tableware was introduced, avoiding the use of more than 3,000 kg of single-use plastic. Thanks to these efforts, in 2026 the Pulcino d’Oro received the Trentino Eco-Events certification and the 100% Clean Energy certification from Dolomiti Energia.

Our goal is not only to promote positive messages, but also to create a concrete and lasting impact that can bring value to future generations.
