Discover the hidden impact of sports
Sport is vital for our health and well-being, but it faces a paradox: it is deeply affected by climate change, and it also contributes to it.
To help understand this, DECATHLON teamed up with Sport 1.5 and scientific experts to develop The Sports Impact Report. This study looks at 9 sports across 31 athlete profiles to map out both carbon emissions (CO2e) and biodiversity pressures across travel, facilities, gear, and practice.
The goal is not to rank sports, but to establish a shared foundation of facts. We recognize our own responsibility, from how we design products to how we scale circularity, and we know real progress requires systemic, collective action across the entire sporting ecosystem.
