Better Health for All

The company's core business activities, which include professional baseball operations, stadium management, and real estate, do not inherently have a direct positive or negative impact on health, nor do they involve offering health-related products or services. Therefore, several KPIs are scored as 0 (Not Applicable). The Atlanta Braves Foundation, associated with the company, partners with Silence the Shame and other organizations to support youth mental health in Georgia.

These initiatives, such as COPE clinics, youth ambassadors, and advisory boards, aim to reduce stigma, promote mental wellness and resilience through education and coping techniques, and increase access to care for marginalized populations including LGBTQ+ and racial/ethnic minorities. Silence the Shame's programs annually reach over 65,000 people. However, these are philanthropic activities of a foundation, and the articles do not provide specific quantitative data on the company's direct investment or the percentage of vulnerable populations reached by its own initiatives, nor do they indicate that these activities are part of the company's core business model for health equity or preventative measures.

The company has faced multiple cultural appropriation incidents, notably the ongoing 'Tomahawk chop' tradition since 1991 and the 'Georgia Tribe Night' in June 2024, which honored non-federally recognized tribes. In response to concerns about the 'Tomahawk chop,' the Braves stated in 2019 they were taking steps to 'reduce' it and have met with Native American groups, but the practice continues. Following the 'Georgia Tribe Night,' the Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Tribes demanded an apology in July 2024. Internal discussions with Braves staff about Native American history have occurred, but no percentage of employees completing cultural sensitivity training is provided.
