2024 Environmental Report
Intensity Metrics Whilst the total and event carbon footprints are useful metrics, they do not necessarily provide accurate comparisons between events, nor a true reflection of year-on-year progress due to the varying numbers of events held each year and participants attending each event. To offer more meaningful comparisons, we have introduced the following intensity metrics which measure the per-participant intensity for each of our main reporting categories, with a breakdown per event.
Total carbon footprint per participant (kg CO2e/participant) The total emissions for the event divided by the associated number of participants.
Waste: Waste per participant (kg Waste/participant)
The total weight of the waste collected divided by the number of participants.
Travel & Transport emissions per participant (kg CO2e/participant)
Waste: Plastic water bottles per participant (number of bottles/ participant) The total number of plastic water bottles divided by the number of participants.
The total emissions from all travel & transport at the event divided by the associated number of participants. A second metric is provided for the emissions solely from participant travel.
Giveaway emissions per participant (kg CO2e/participant) The emissions from ‘Giveaway’ items for the event divided by the associated number of participants.
Kit & Clothing: Finisher T-Shirts opt-outs (kg CO2e avoided) The number of participants who chose to donate to our environmental partners instead of receiving a Finisher T-Shirt.
Waste: Recycling rate (% of total waste that is recycled)
Food & Drink: Staff Meals (kg CO2e per main meal)
The % of the total weight of the collected waste that is recycled.
