The website gathers information on environmental action in three categories; sporting goods, sports events and sport facilities. Sporting federations and organizations that are working to reduce the environmental impact of their sport or to use sporting events as a vehicle for promoting awareness, use the site as a channel through which they promote their activities and share information on their initiatives.

Every 2 years, GSA and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) co-host the G-ForSE Global Forum that brings the representatives of sporting federations, manufacturers, events, facilities and athletes to share information, consolidate actions and develop fresh initiatives. Forums have been held in Tokyo, Lahore, Pakistan, and at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. The latest edition, sponsored by Volvo, was held in Alicante, Spain in 2008 and was timed to coincide with the launch of the Volvo Ocean Race.
