Carbon Literacy
Sporting Giants offers bespoke Carbon Literacy training, tailored to meet the unique needs of international and national sports federations, organisations in the sports and sponsorship sectors, and Olympic committees worldwide.
Carbon Literacy is an awareness of the carbon costs and impacts of everyday activities and the ability and motivation to reduce emissions, on an individual, community and organisational basis.
Our expert knowledge and extensive practical experience in the sport sustainability sector allows us to deliver an unmatched Carbon Literacy training programme.
Accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project, our Sports course has been proven to positively engage stakeholders in organisations seeking to purposefully embed sustainability policies and projects.
“The training shifted the conversation. It gave everyone the same foundation – from senior leadership to staff – and made it easier to turn our sustainability strategy into real shared action. I am no longer driving this alone; the whole team is behind it.”
Sustainability Lead, International Sports Federation

How does certification work?
In order to become certified as Carbon Literate, delegates must take part in a day’s worth of accredited Carbon Literacy learning. We can deliver this in person in one day, or online in two 3.5-hour Microsoft Teams sessions.
Upon completion of the course, delegates are guided to complete a short summary demonstrating their understanding of what they have learned and then make two pledges to reduce carbon consumption in their organisation: one individual action and one collective action.
Graduates receive a Carbon Literacy Project certificate which demonstrates their understanding and engagement with the course.
