The R&A's reported carbon emissions
The R&A, headquartered in Great Britain, currently does not have publicly available carbon emissions data for the most recent year, nor specific reduction targets or initiatives outlined in their climate commitments. Without concrete figures or defined goals, it is challenging to assess their current carbon footprint or progress in reducing emissions. However, the organisation is likely to be engaged in broader industry efforts to address climate change, aligning with global sustainability trends. As the golf industry increasingly focuses on environmental responsibility, The R&A may be expected to develop and implement strategies to mitigate their impact on the climate in the future.
