FIGC
The FIGC, founded in 1898 and recognized by FIFA in 1905, is an association with legal personality under private law affiliated with CONI, which promotes and regulates football activities in Italy.
The Federal Technical Center (CTF) in Coverciano, inaugurated in 1958, represents an excellence of Italian football: a heritage of knowledge, memory, passion and innovation. A historic place where the future of Italian football is studied and shaped.
The context
Following the publication of the UEFA Sustainability Strategy "Strength Through Unity 2030", based on 11 Policies, each National Association is called upon to align its sustainability strategies with UEFA criteria.
In 2022, the FIGC conceived "Coverciano 3.0", a plan to restore and redevelop the Technical Center, carried out in collaboration with the Municipality of Florence and the Superintendency of Artistic and Landscape Heritage, thanks to the UEFA HatTrick V FSR 2022/2023 contribution.
Before reducing and offsetting emissions, measurement was needed: the FIGC required a precise inventory of the environmental impacts generated by CTF activities, in order to define an environmental sustainability strategy based on reliable data.
The objectives
Circularity's contribution
We supported the FIGC in carrying out the first inventory of Scope 1 (direct emissions) and Scope 2 (indirect emissions from purchased energy) climate-altering emissions of the CTF in Coverciano, in full compliance with the methodology of the Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Protocol, Corporate Accounting Standard.
The assessments covered all emissions generated by the Federal Technical Center's facility for the year 2022, establishing a solid starting point to guide the FIGC in defining a process for data collection and reporting of the main emission items of the CTF.
The project made it possible to:
-
Examine the CTF's activities and their related impacts
-
Define an environmental strategy for the Technical Center
-
Identify potential actions to reduce and offset emissions
The results
The FIGC obtained the first complete emissions inventory of the Federal Technical Center in Coverciano, presented as a best practice on the occasion of the launch in London of the UEFA Carbon Footprint Calculator.
-
First Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions inventory according to the GHG Protocol
-
Solid data foundation for annual reporting
-
Environmental strategy defined for the CTF
-
Best practice recognized at UEFA level
-
Foundations for concrete reduction and offsetting actions
