In 2016, the National Hockey League (NHL) reported total carbon emissions of approximately 177,000,000 kg CO2e, comprising 122,234,750 kg CO2e from Scope 1, 4,760,960 kg CO2e from Scope 2, and 55,359,240 kg CO2e from Scope 3 emissions. This data reflects the NHL's comprehensive approach to measuring its carbon footprint across all relevant scopes. The NHL has not publicly disclosed specific reduction targets or initiatives as part of its climate commitments. There are no reported Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) reduction targets or other formal climate pledges. The absence of such commitments suggests that while the NHL is aware of its emissions, it may not yet have established formalised strategies for significant reductions. The emissions data is not cascaded from any parent organisation, indicating that the NHL is independently reporting its carbon emissions. The league's focus on sustainability and climate action remains a developing area, with potential for future commitments to align with industry standards and expectations.
