This infographic focuses on transportation, showcasing the challenges and opportunities in making sport operations more sustainable – including staff, teams’ and fans’ mobility as well as freight - through inspiring case studies and statistics.

Facts include:

• 41 tonnes of CO2 is generated during every game by fans at an average Bundesliga club travelling to a home or away match.
• During the inaugural season of FIA Formula E, the total carbon footprint of the event was calculated at 25,000 tonnes of carbon.
• The French Federation of Table Tennis (FFTT) has pledged that a minimum of 80% of trips to its  events are to be made using active mobility, public transportation or car sharing by 2020.
