Y1 Sports

In partnership with Carbon Jacked Y1S has undergone a comprehensive carbon footprint assessment to measure, understand and report their emissions in line with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol.

Y1S updates its footprint assessment on an annual basis in line with best practice and uses this to take significant steps to reduce their emissions wherever possible. 

Under the GHG Protocol, companies are only responsible for their core Scope 1 & 2 emissions, but Y1S has taken the decision to broaden the scope of its carbon footprint assessment to include their Scope 3 emissions (i.e. the indirect emissions from their business), which means a more detailed and accurate assessment of their environmental impact.

Y1S's carbon footprint assessment was carried out using the proprietary Carbon Jacked methodology, which is based on the GHG Protocol. For their assessment, the specific GHG Protocol standards used were the Corporate Standard and the Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard.

Having taken extensive action to reduce their environmental impact, Y1S have gone even further to directly invest in verified nature projects.

Following their expert carbon footprint assessment, Y1S has taken the voluntary decision to offset their residual emissions and become carbon neutral, including all of their Scope 1 & 2 emissions, as well as the key elements of their Scope 3 emissions, including their purchased goods, shipping, storage, employee commuting and homeworking, as well as indirect emissions from fuel and energy use.

To do this they have purchased carbon credits in the award-winning 

 project in Tanzania. Not only does this project combat climate change, but it also contributes to multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including through investments in infrastructure and healthcare, creating jobs, increasing access to education, and improving gender equality. The project protects 216,994 hectares of forest in the Greater Mahale ecosystem of Western Tanzania, which is home to endangered species such as the eastern chimpanzee.

, which is one of the leading international standards for the certification of carbon credits.
