SPL
SPORT POSITIVE LEAGUES

SPORT POSITIVE LEAGUES（SPL）

Sport Positive Leagues is a system that quantifies clubs' climate actions, allowing for an at-a-glance overview of their progress and future direction.For clubs belonging to participating leagues, it collects data on the progress of 12 key areas of climate change mitigation, encompassing a wide range of activities unique to the sports world, such as energy efficiency at match venues and facilities, use of renewable energy, recycling and waste reduction efforts, management of CO2 emissions associated with the travel of fans and players, collaboration with hometowns, and promotion of environmental education for players and others.

Subsequently, SPL's proprietary scoring system quantitatively analyzes the effectiveness of each initiative, calculating an overall score by assigning weights to categories and themes such as energy, waste, and transportation.The scores are then presented by SPL for each league in a ranking format familiar to sports clubs, showcasing participating clubs across the board.A key feature of SPL is its data-driven approach, which visualizes environmental initiatives, promotes the sharing of best practices by publishing scores, and provides a mechanism to motivate the pursuit of higher goals.
