Reducing carbon at the ‘greenest games ever’

Anthesis helped London 2012 to become the greenest Olympic and Paralympic Games ever, by developing an award-winning, comprehensive carbon management strategy to help avoid 400,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

The methodology that was developed has raised the sustainability bar for future world-class events. The work on the 2012 Games has been extremely influential with other world class events building on London’s legacy.  As a result, Anthesis has been helping other world class events to better measure and manage their greenhouse gas emissions and go 'carbon neutral'. These include the Wimbledon Tennis, 34^th America's Cup, the Brazil 2014 World Cup, and the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics.

Anthesis won a ‘Beyond Sport’ award for its work on London 2012. The carbon management methodology was recognized by the independent Commission for a Sustainable London 2012 as 'groundbreaking' and by NGOs Bioregional and WWF as an 'innovative approach' and a 'key sustainability success story'.
