National Hockey League's reported carbon emissions

The National Hockey League (NHL), headquartered in the US and operating within the recreational, cultural, and sporting services industry, has reported its carbon emissions. In 2016, the NHL's total emissions were approximately 184,810,000 kg CO2e. This figure comprises approximately 122,234,750 kg CO2e for Scope 1, approximately 4,760,960 kg CO2e for Scope 2, and approximately 55,359,240 kg CO2e for Scope 3. Previously, in 2015, total emissions stood at approximately 185,694,740 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions around 126,209,030 kg CO2e, Scope 2 at approximately 4,853,710 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 at approximately 54,632,570 kg CO2e. For 2014, the total emissions were approximately 189,502,900 kg CO2e, including Scope 1 emissions of approximately 127,944,250 kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of about 4,911,980 kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of approximately 56,646,570 kg CO2e. The NHL has outlined climate commitments, including a near-term target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, based on a 2023 baseline. Furthermore, the organisation is working towards achieving net zero in its own operations (Scopes 1 and 2 emissions) by 2035. A long-term target aims for a 90% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2035, also using a 2023 baseline. It is important to note that the emissions data provided is not cascaded from a parent organisation.
