This beginner’s guide by Sport England in support of their Every Move Strategy is split into three sections: Overview, Methodology and Key takeaways.
It:
• Sets out why a carbon footprint is important
• Explains what a carbon footprint is
• Highlights where emissions come from for most sport and physical activity organisations
• Provides an introduction to the three different ‘scopes’ of emissions
• Sets out a four-step process for measuring your carbon footprint and the equation used to calculate your carbon emissions
• Highlights actions you can take regardless of the complexity of your carbon footprint to start decarbonising your operations. We have also produced two case studies of organisations who have simply understood their carbon footprint, shared their approach to support others and used the insights to inform positive actions.
