The challenge
What sports & venues are facing
Matchday energy spikes
Floodlighting, hospitality suites, catering facilities, PA systems — matchday energy consumption can be 3x a normal day. Understanding this split is essential for meaningful reduction planning.
Travel emissions are massive
Team travel, staff commuting, and fan travel are often the biggest emission sources for sports organisations. But the data is fragmented across booking systems, expense reports, and surveys.
Multiple facilities to track
Stadium, training ground, academy, offices, retail outlets. Each has different energy supplies, different usage patterns, and often different management teams responsible for data.
Governing body expectations
The Premier League, FA, ECB, and other governing bodies are rolling out sustainability frameworks. Sponsors want to associate with clubs that can demonstrate environmental credentials.
Matchday energy consumption can be 3x a normal day. Understanding the split between matchday and non-matchday is essential for reduction planning.

“Carbon reporting was taking up real time from our finance team. What surprised us was how much more it opened up — all the good things we were already doing, we couldn't quantify before. Now we can.”

If your club meets the SECR thresholds (250+ employees, £36m+ turnover, £18m+ balance sheet), yes. Most Premier League and Championship clubs qualify, as do many rugby, cricket, and racing organisations.
Climatise uses attendance data, postcode analysis, and mode-of-transport assumptions to estimate fan travel emissions. This is Scope 3 and increasingly expected in sports sustainability reporting.
Yes. The platform generates reports in standard formats that governing bodies accept. As governing body frameworks evolve, we update the reporting templates.
