Rugby Football Union's reported carbon emissions
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) currently does not have available emissions data for the most recent year, nor does it report specific carbon emissions figures in kg CO2e. As a result, there are no documented Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions to reference. Additionally, the RFU has not outlined any specific reduction targets or commitments through initiatives such as the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) or other climate pledges. Without concrete data or commitments, it is challenging to assess their current climate impact or future goals. In the context of the sports industry, many organisations are increasingly focusing on sustainability and carbon reduction strategies. However, the RFU has yet to publicly disclose any such initiatives or targets.
