During 2011, Manchester United’s dedication to reducing carbon emissions was recognised when the club achieved the Carbon Trust Standard and was at the top of the government’s CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme league table.
United is now striving to achieve a treble in this field and become the first major stadium in the UK to hold three major sustainability standards: the Carbon Trust Standard; ISO14001 and (to be launched later this year) ISO20121, the Sustainable Events Management standard.
