Supporting a more sustainable sports and leisure sector
Sustainability is becoming a key priority across the sports and leisure sector, with increasing focus on reducing environmental impact from investors and customers alike.
Whether you’re looking to lower energy consumption, cut carbon emissions or develop a clear roadmap to net zero, Consultus Sustainability provides expertise and tailored solutions to help you create more efficient facilities, reduce costs, and build a more sustainable future.
Why sustainability in sports and leisure is important
Sports and leisure centres are at the heart of the community and have a huge opportunity to lead by example. By demonstrating strong commitments to sustainability, businesses can appeal to an ever-more eco-conscious audience, whilst also lowering costs and their impact on the environment.
And as environmental regulations continue to tighten, adopting a proactive sustainability strategy also helps you meet compliance requirements, and enables you to collect, monitor and report accurate, high-quality data.

How to save on sports and leisure sector energy costs
Sports and leisure facilities are among the most energy-intensive buildings to operate, with heating, lighting, ventilation and specialist equipment all contributing to high consumption. As energy costs continue to rise, many organisations are feeling increasing financial pressure, with energy accounting for up to 30% of total operating costs in some leisure centres.
Investing in net zero helps more than just the planet – it can reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, lower carbon emissions and create more resilient facilities for the future.
Working with businesses across sports and leisure
We work with a wide range of businesses and organisations across the sector to offer bespoke sustainability solutions and expert guidance.
Leisure centres
With a range of facilities and high demand for heating, lighting and water, leisure centres can face significant energy usage. We help you identify opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce emissions.
Sports clubs
From clubhouses and floodlights to operations and maintenance, sports clubs have lots of energy demands to manage. Consultus Sustainability provides support to help you improve efficiency and sustainability.
Gyms & fitness suites
With lots of specialist equipment and long opening hours, gyms and fitness suites often have high energy consumption and emissions. Our services can support your energy and carbon reduction goals.
Swimming pools
Swimming pools are one of the most energy-intensive sports facilities, but with Consultus Sustainability’s help, you can cut both carbon and costs whilst complying with regulatory requirements.
Sports pitches
Consultus Sustainability can help you power your pitch efficiently with tailored tools, services and support so you can better understand your sustainability goals and how to achieve them.
Ice rinks
Keeping your ice rink cool whilst ensuring your changing rooms, cafes, and other public areas stay warm, is incredibly energy and carbon intensive. We help you reduce your emissions, costs, and waste with simple sustainability strategies.
