Our Carbon-Neutral Journey: Leading the Way in Sustainable Sport

First in Hockey, Padel, and Beyond

At Y1 Sport Ltd, we’re proud to have been trailblazers in our industry. We became the first carbon-neutral brand in the hockey and padel sports sectors, as well as one of the earliest in the teamwear market. That commitment started with a simple but powerful belief: sustainability is not just a trend. It’s a long-term journey.

A Young, Tight-Knit Team Driving Change

Our team is young, innovative, and deeply connected, not only to each other but to the broader Y1 community. In 2020, we asked ourselves and our customers what mattered most. The answer was clear: sustainability wasn’t just a nice-to-have; it was essential to our shared values and future.

From Pledge to Practice: Our Annual Carbon Assessment

That’s why, in 2020, we partnered with sustainability consultants at Carbon Jacked. They guided us through a comprehensive three-scope assessment—a thorough review that measures emissions in three key areas:

  • Scope 1: Direct emissions from our own operations.
  • Scope 2: Indirect emissions from the energy we purchase.
  • Scope 3: Other indirect emissions from our supply chain, logistics, and even customer use.

Each year, we complete this assessment to understand exactly where our emissions come from. It’s not a one-time pledge; it’s an ongoing process of measuring, improving, and doing better every year.

A Long-Term Commitment

For us, sustainability is a continuous journey. Each year’s carbon audit helps us pinpoint where we can improve and do better. We measure scientifically, reduce what we can, and offset what we can’t. That’s how we ensure that every piece of gear we make isn’t just high-performance, but truly responsible from start to finish.
