In 2024, Arsenal reported total carbon emissions of approximately 22,088,030 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions accounting for about 1,855,860 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at approximately 2,956,220 kg CO2e. This marks a slight increase from 2023, where total emissions were about 20,822,220 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at approximately 1,823,380 kg CO2e and Scope 2 emissions at around 2,136,230 kg CO2e. Arsenal's emissions data is cascaded from its parent organization, Arsenal Holdings Limited, which provides a comprehensive view of the club's carbon footprint. The club has disclosed emissions across Scope 1 and Scope 2, but does not currently report Scope 3 emissions. Despite the lack of specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments, Arsenal is part of a broader industry context that increasingly prioritises sustainability. The absence of documented reduction targets suggests that while the club is aware of its environmental impact, it may not yet have formalised strategies for significant emissions reductions. Overall, Arsenal's commitment to addressing climate change is evident through its emissions reporting, although further clarity on reduction initiatives would enhance its sustainability profile.
