Over the last few weeks, Desert Vipers have been hard at work collecting information in order to calculate their environmental impact. Our Sustainability Match Report released a few weeks ago contains lots of information about the sources and scale of our different environmental impacts, with a specific focus on our carbon footprint. However, it is not just the Sustainability Match for which we are collecting information. We are detailing and documenting all areas of our work and we will continue to do so.

This blog is a little different than usual, as we have given the opportunity to our Office Manager, Danielle Clarkson, to talk about what Desert Vipers’ sustainability journey means to her, and how it affects her day-to-day role. We hope you enjoy this different perspective!

For World Environment Day on 5th June, we released our Sustainability Match Report. This report draws together everything we did on our momentous first ever Sustainability Match on the 3rd February vs Gulf Giants. This blog is separated into four sections

At Desert Vipers, our Zero Kit to Landfill Strategy is a continuation of our work to embed sustainability within the heart of our operations as a franchise.

In the immediate aftermath of our final match, there was lots to do before everyone left the Team Hotel. The nature of knockout tournaments means that you’re never 100% sure of when you will be out of the competition, so creating systems to simplify the process of packing up and leaving is of paramount importance. This year, we focussed on collecting and recording leftover kit – either that which was earmarked for the fans for the knockout stages (which we didn’t quite reach), or kit which our team members wanted to leave for us to donate or upcycle.
