We commit to:

• Complying with all relevant regulatory requirements.
• Continually improving and monitoring our environmental performance and impact on the environment.
• Incorporating environmental factors into business decisions.
• Increasing employee awareness of environmental issues.
• Using our voice for good by promoting environmental action, particularly in the sports industry via The Sustainability Report platform and podcast.

Carbon and climate action 

We measure our carbon impact, including our Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, every year.

We look for reduction opportunities so we can continue on a path to net zero.

We compensate our unavoidable emissions through certified carbon credit schemes. Carbon offsetting doesn’t magically wipe the slate clean, but we believe it complements our steady emissions reduction strategy. In recent years, we’ve invested in sustainable development projects in Nepal, Brazil and Panama, all certified by Gold Standard.

We work primarily with a carbon-neutral printing company when the printing of products falls within our responsibility.

We limit air travel as much as possible, opting for virtual meetings or travelling by train in the first instances.

We provide training for our employees to improve their carbon literacy.

Energy and water 

We use renewable electricity in our office.

We reduce the amount of energy used as much as possible, for example by switching off electrical equipment when not in use.

We takes the energy consumption and efficiency of new products into account when purchasing them.

Purchasing decisions

We favour more environmentally-friendly and efficient products wherever possible. For example, we opt for refurbished computers over new.

We reuse and recycle everything we are able to.

Transportation 

We promote the use of travel alternatives such as e-mail or video/phone conferencing. Where travel is necessary, we research alternatives to flying such as rail, and choose the overland option where practical.

We encourage sustainable transport options, for example through our cycle-to-work scheme.

Culture 

We review this policy annually and encourage team members to make suggestions for how we could further reduce our impact.
