Nethercraigs Sports Centre had been making steady progress in sustainability, e.g by cutting back on single-use plastics. To really make an impact and gauge the progress, the Nethercraigs Sport Centre needed to understand their current carbon footprint and pinpoint the areas with the highest emissions. Lacking the necessary expertise, they brought in Boxfish to help elevate their environmental efforts.
Boxfish compiled a detailed Carbon Baseline Report for the centre. They looked at not just direct energy use (Scope 1 and 2 emissions) but also broader factors like visitor transportation (Scope 3 emissions). Nethercraigs is now considering including more Scope 3 areas to gain a complete view of their emissions. The report offered practical recommendations for reducing emissions and laid out a clear, actionable plan to achieve Net Zero.
Thanks to the Carbon Baseline Report, Nethercraigs Sports Centre now has a clear starting point for understanding their carbon footprint and pinpointing areas for improvement. Thanks to actionable insights and tailored recommendations from Boxfish, Nethercraigs is well on track to achieve Net Zero well ahead of the Scottish Government’s 2045 deadline.
We knew we needed to partner with a trusted consultancy to achieve our carbon and net-zero goals, Boxfish have supported us over the course of the last few months and took the time to understand our facilities and priorities as an organisation, working to produce a Carbon Baseline Report. This report provided us with a substantial amount of actionable and achievable recommendations – Boxfish’ expertise not only helped guide us on how to get started, but also took the time to build trusted relationships and we are very grateful to the team at Boxfish for their support, communication, and advice throughout this process, and look forward to pursuing a more sustainable future as an organisation with the information and recommendations provided to us by the team in mind.
