Introduction
It shows you which CO2 emissions are generated during one playing season or an individual event in the areas of mobility, energy, material and waste. You can simply start and carry out the calculations with available standard values. Later on, or if you want to work it out more exactly, you have the possibility of inserting your own data you have collected. For example: you can observe a typical competition (an individual game or a tournament) and record how the players travel there or how many bags of garbage/waste there are.
The goal is that on the one hand, you experience in what areas you emit the most CO2 and on the other hand, you see what kind of measures you can use to reduce your club’s CO2 footprint. To do this, you will receive tips and information when you fill out the form as well as with the evaluation. It is also possible to use the calculator to gather data on the CO2 emissions of individual events, for example, or to use it for just a single team. In addition, you have the possibility to compensate the actual CO2 emissions that were generated in an uncomplicated way. We are aware that you cannot calculate all of the emissions exactly to the kilogram with this CO2 calculator. Many of the sections only ask for estimates and we have tried to formulate the questions in a way that enable the most exact result as possible with the least possible effort. In any case, the result should provide you with a good overview of the CO2 footprint of your club. The more time you take to examine your club members’ and partners’ efforts regarding sustainability, the more precise your result will be and the more information you will gain about which measures have the greatest effect—and that is how you can make the greatest difference. We would like to thank you already in advance for the efforts you are making towards the Green Goal!
Club profile
The information on your teams helps us make the calculations of the stored standard values. We use them, for example, to estimate the CO2 emissions caused by mobility. Teams who are playing in a national league match will have traveled a greater distance to the venue compared to a team in a regional league.
National Teams
Active players
Juniors
Other players
Trainings
You will generally find information on training units and hours in your club’s hall booking plan. Simply add those hours up for one week. With these figures, we can then estimate your energy consumption. The energy use in a 3-way hall is roughly 5 times greater than in a one-way hall.
Weekly training sessions
Training Camps

Home matches (single matches)
Home matches (tournaments)
Away matches (single matches/tournaments)
Mobility
If you do not yet have any numbers regarding your journeys to and from training, camps and competitions, you can just estimate your CO2 emissions. We have listed standard values for these.
If you want to have more exact figures, then simply carry out a short survey during some of your training units or at a match. Ask people if they have traveled to the venue by car, public transportation, bicycle or on foot. Enter this data into the CO2 calculator. You can use this opportunity to motivate your club members to travel to the events in the future using car-sharing, public transportation or bicycles. Repeat the survey a few weeks later—maybe your conversation might already have had an effect.

Food at home matches
Not only fossil energy sources, such as heating oil or fuel when driving a vehicle, lead to CO2 emissions. The production of food through agriculture as well as further food processing also causes emissions, which is why food is also included in a CO2 calculation.
In a first step, you can have your emissions assessed and in a second step, you can count the consumption at 1 or 2 events. For example, seasonal fruit as snacks offer a more climate-friendly alternative to hot dogs and sandwiches.

Energy
Burning fossil energy sources such as heating oil or natural gas create large CO2 emissions. Ask your municipal administration if the hall you use is already using environmentally friendly power/electricity and if renewable sources such as heat pumps, wood chips or district heating are being used for heating.
If you play in several halls, concentrate on the main hall.

Materials
Under the section “Materials”, you are asked what kind of equipment you use to play floorball. On the one hand, equipment was purchased by your club and on the other hand, equipment is provided or purchased by your club members themselves. Here again, you can choose between a guess or an exact assessment. Some equipment already has sustainable options, for example jerseys, floorball sticks or shoes made from recycled materials. It is even more sustainable to pass on used equipment that is still in good condition to other players.
