Carbon calculation is one of the most challenging areas of sustainability for sports organisations - it is both important, and it can feel complicated.

Generously funded by Sport England, we are now able to deliver a comprehensive new training course to enable sports organisations to approach carbon calculation with confidence.

Through the course, participants will learn about all three scopes and specific categories of emissions, in order that they can build a detailed understanding of what each means, how they can make reliable assessments, and how they can use those assessments to identify the specific, targeted action they can take.

Our approach builds strong foundational understanding which is software agnostic, rather than promoting a specific tool.

Calculating Emissions will be fully based on the internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas Reporting Protocol (the foundation for the UN Sport for Climate Action Framework), and made relevant to all by emphasising the basic approach (minimum scope 1 and 2) and more advanced (scope 3) elements.

Our training will be a bespoke, accessible, practical guide for sports professionals grounded in the carbon calculation module of the Sport Business and Sport Leadership Masters course at Loughborough University London. It will be delivered by Dr Russell Seymour, Loughborough University’s award-winning Senior Lecturer in Sports Management, who founded BASIS, continues to serve as our Chair, and has more than twenty years of practical sustainability experience in sport.
