Consultancy to aid football club 's net zero goal

A net zero consultancy has helped Watford Football Club meet its green targets.

ClearVUE will be conducting a full audit of the Championship club 's carbon emissions in both its upstream and downstream supply chains.

The firm is aiming to help Watford develop a net zero roadmap to be delivered over the next decade.

Watford FC 's head of procurement and sustainability, Tarang Panchal, said: “We have the vision, the passion, and commitment to pursue net zero and play our part in reversing the climate emergency.

“But we realise the road to net zero, without a knowledgeable partner, would be an insurmountable task. ”

ClearVUE is a specialist consultancy helping businesses develop comprehensive strategies to achieve their net zero targets.

As well as offering technology that provides businesses with a consumption, carbon monitoring and accounting platform, ClearVUE also provides expertise in audits, energy efficiency training, energy management, climate risk assessments, and emissions reporting legislation (ESOS, SECR).

Dan Smith, director of energy services at ClearVUE, said: “At ClearVUE our ambition is to mitigate the damage businesses inflict on our climate - and ultimately reduce their carbon emissions to preserve our planet and create a more sustainable future.

“Our mission is to provoke and inspire change for the better by enabling businesses through our technology - to understand how their operations and behaviour affect the climate.

“By enabling businesses to understand exactly how, where, and when they are emitting carbon, they can begin to address their impact on our planet. ”

Paul O 'Brien, Watford FC 's commercial director, added: “We are very excited to embark on this journey over the next decade and get Watford FC to net zero.

“This is a family club at the heart of the community and always has been. Our hope is that one day when people look back at history, it is our generation they will credit for pioneering the transformation towards a greener, cleaner and more sustainable planet.

“We firmly believe that our partnership with ClearVUE will allow us to do our part in tackling the climate crisis, leaving the world a better place for future generations to come. ”
