At Icescape, achieving carbon neutrality is a central part of our long-term sustainability commitment.
In 2022, we became a member of My Carbon Plan as part of our journey to become a carbon neutral company. We chose My Carbon Plan because of its practical, transparent approach and its focus on impactful UK-based environmental projects. Supporting initiatives closer to home allows us to see tangible results and contribute directly to meaningful climate action.
As part of our commitment, we offset the annual carbon footprint of every employee within our organisation. In addition, we actively measure, track, and assess our company-wide carbon emissions to ensure we are not only offsetting responsibly but also identifying opportunities to reduce our footprint year on year. This data-led approach enables us to set clear targets and drive continuous improvement across our operations.
In 2024, Icescape proudly achieved the Certified Carbon Gold Award in recognition of our proactive approach to tackling climate change.
This accreditation is awarded through the Certified Carbon Registry — the UK’s fastest-growing database of corporate carbon footprints, carbon offset programmes, and carbon reduction plans. The registry recognises organisations that are taking credible, measurable action on carbon reduction and offsetting.
We are extremely proud to have received this award and to stand alongside other UK companies and organisations that are committed to meaningful climate action. It reflects not only the steps we have already taken, but our ongoing dedication to operating responsibly and contributing to a lower-carbon future.
At Icescape, we recognise the growing urgency for businesses to work together to protect our environment and combat climate change. As the events and leisure industry continues to evolve, we understand our responsibility to lead by example and operate in a way that minimises environmental impact while delivering exceptional experiences.
Sustainability is embedded in how we design, manufacture, and operate. From the materials we select and the systems we engineer, to the way we install, and maintain our ice rinks, environmental consideration is built into every stage of our process. We actively seek smarter, more energy-efficient solutions that reduce waste, lower emissions, and extend the lifespan of our equipment.
We are committed to continuously improving our environmental performance and reducing our carbon footprint across every aspect of our operations. Through innovation, responsible sourcing, efficient technologies, and strong internal environmental leadership, we strive to ensure that our ice rinks deliver lasting enjoyment with a lighter impact on the planet.
