Carbon Responsible

An unforgettable launch: our Impact in Focus series kicked off last night with a spotlight on the world of sports. A big thank you to our panellists and audience for helping us look into the challenges and opportunities surrounding the sector's impact on people and planet. A few key takeaways: ➡️ Useful collaboration relies on the sharing of practical, carbon-reduction initiatives ➡️ Climate communications around sport still requires a shake-up ➡️ Fan engagement and player advocacy is critical to achieving impact ➡️ Treat investment into climate reduction like a business case; proven short-term success will pave the way for long-term opportunity We look forward to more unfiltered conversations about net zero and the pragmatic steps organisations can adopt to bring about meaningful change. Watch this space for more Impact in Focus events, coming soon. #sustainability #carbonreporting #sustainablesport #netzero

Great to see our client’s engagement initiatives playing out in the wild 🏏 - with great success! Emily Iveson-Pritchard comments: “We do a lot already in terms of reducing our carbon footprint and we have a pledge to be net zero by 2030,” “This was more focused on engaging our guests and getting them to think about sustainability as well.” Bravo, Emily and the wider team at Surrey County Cricket Club. #surreycricket #sustainablesport

What are the next tangible actions that sports clubs are looking to take? The Founder of Football For Future, Elliot, made an interesting point on climate communication. He explains: “Football's greatest power to address climate crisis, is like nothing else on the planet. Social influence is where it really lies, and we need to see the biggest and most influential individuals and organisations in the world, many of which are in football, need to be a little bit more fearless when it comes to using their platform to talk about the realities of climate change. And be a little bit more creative with their storytelling around it as well.” We couldn’t agree more 👏 and we’re interested to see/hear/read our followers climate-related storytelling in the links.

And we’re off! Today kicks off our inaugural trade mission with Grow London to Paris and Amsterdam! Our team met with BNP Paribas, VINCI and ChangeNOW among others to discuss audit quality reporting and carbon strategies. 2025 is set to be a pivotal year for Climated Related Disclosure as CSRD continues to put an emphasis on high-quality reporting and assurance.

We're off to Europe next week with the Grow London team on our first trade mission! Focusing on high-quality outputs that saves our clients time, money and effort in the long-term has always been our focus. Headwinds in Europe like CSRD only continue to reinforce the narrative that doing sustainability reporting accurately and well from the outset is the most effective and risk-free approach a company can undertake. Matthew Paver, our COO, will be providing updates from the road, and is quickly off to India for our second trade mission, so stay tuned for updates along the way!

What governance is your ESG Team adhering to? Do you publicly showcase your sustainability efforts and carbon emissions disclosure? If we take sport as an example - there are various pledges, policies and carbon reporting guidance in play, for example: ➡️ United Nations Sport for Climate Action (https://lnkd.in/dsBWTCZ) ➡️ UK Sport Sustainability Strategy (https://lnkd.in/d5VXhm2S) ➡️ Science Based Targets initiative (https://lnkd.in/dJVDUU5W) Yet according to Sport Positive's 2023 report: - 7 premier league clubs have a sustainable transport policy - 6 clubs have net zero targets - 5 clubs are signatories of the UN Sport for Climate Action framework View the report here: https://lnkd.in/gw-_PJtt While carbon accounting can assist sports organisations on their path to sustainability, there needs to be a monumental shift in the number of sports clubs taking meaningful action.
