👇 Evolution of the Tour de France's Carbon Emissions Since 2013  🇫🇷🚴 2021: 216,388 tC02 2019: ? 2017: ? 2015: ? 2013:  341,000 tC02 Goal for 2025: 170,500 tC02 Despite conducting carbon audits every two years, the Tour rarely discloses detailed results, making it challenging to fully assess its environmental impacts, progress, and areas for improvement. Based on available data: • Scope 1 & 2 emissions in 2021 ~ 12,984 tC02 • Scope 3 emissions in 2021 ~  203,404 tC02 • Scope 1 & 2 emissions in 2013 ~ 20,600 tC02 • Scope 3 emissions in 2013 ~  320,300 tC02 Transparency about an event’s carbon footprint should be viewed as an opportunity, not a trap. At Circular Unity, we advocate for shifting from a risk perspective to an opportunity perspective. By embracing transparency, event organizers can improve their carbon accounting methods, enhance their sustainability expertise, and establish essential benchmarks for the rest of the industry. The Tour started this weekend in Italy, offering an incredible platform to embrace and showcase environmental stewardship. With 42.5 million viewers in 2023, the Tour de France can set new standards for sustainability in sports events. To assist events in reporting their environmental impact, we developed impactALL, a solution specifically designed for events and sports.

The DP World Tour has launched a new fan travel emissions tracker, which will help spectators to calculate and offset their greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) when travelling to and from #golf tournaments. The easy-to-use tool is being deployed in collaboration with Hamburg-based carbon management solutions provider AQ Green TeC, with ticketholders across 12 tournaments in 2024 automatically receiving a link to a new portal to input their event travel-related data. After submitting details on flights, accommodation and ground transportation, spectators will be offered a way to purchase verified carbon credits to offset their calculated GHG emissions. “It is widely recognised that the biggest contributor to GHG emissions for live events comes via the spectator / fan / attendee travel,” David Grundlingh, Chief Executive of AQ Green TeC, told Global Sustainable Sport.

The hotel industry needs to reduce its carbon emissions per room by 66% by 2030 and 90% by 2050 (versus 2010 levels) to ensure the industry's growth does not lead to a corresponding increase in carbon emissions... This quote from the Sustainable Hospitality Alliance's Decarbonisation report really stuck with me. For most of the past decade, I have looked at the STR Pipeline per Region report with optimism - what incredible growth I thought. 📈 But to consider that hotels already account for ~1% of global emissions with no sign of tangible improvement - that pipeline now looks to me like a ticking time bomb on our most valuable (shared) asset, Earth. 🌏 It's been so refreshing to see the likes of Weeva showing real, tangible, scientific-based progression of their partner hotels against global emission goals. But, I'd love to hear more from my network. Which hotels, travel companies or associations are doing great work to improve travel's impact on our environment? #sustainabilityfirst #sustainabletravel #travelemissions

If you're eager to discover actionable strategies for achieving the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 66% by 2030—the target needed for the global travel industry—connect with sustainability leaders for expert guidance.

What does sustainability in a ski resort exactly mean? Its got to be more than a ski resort and environmental impacts for a start. Lets have a conversation about this please.

People knowing me know that I am rather sceptical about the honesty in the #travel industry when it comes to sustainability ♻️ That's why I enjoyed the discussion with Mehdi Hemici of ALL - Accor Live Limitless in our latest episode of #LoyalTea, giving a more practical dimension to the discussion. And you know what? If you replace the word "sustainability" by "social responsibility", the question what sustainability should look like at the level of loyalty programs takes a much more pragmatic meaning! 🧐 #globalflight
