At NetNada, we empower organisations to reduce their environmental impact through data-driven carbon accounting and actionable insights. Our partnership with Windsor RSL Club demonstrates how businesses in the hospitality sector can integrate sustainability into their operations. Windsor RSL’s FY24 Carbon Emissions Summary Report showcases their dedication to transparency, operational efficiency, and measurable progress towards a more sustainable future.
The Challenge
As a growing leader in the hospitality industry, Windsor RSL Club faced the challenge of accurately measuring and managing emissions across an expanding operation. With 196 suppliers in FY24 and a wide range of operational activities, the club required a comprehensive understanding of its carbon footprint to identify impactful reduction strategies.
For the first time, Windsor RSL included Scope 1 emissions (fuel consumption) in its reporting, alongside Scope 2 (purchased electricity) and Scope 3 (supply chain, waste, and other indirect emissions). Identifying high-impact areas such as food, electricity, and waste was critical to prioritising their sustainability efforts while maintaining operational excellence.
NetNada’s Strategic Approach
To support Windsor RSL Club’s sustainability goals, NetNada implemented a structured approach focused on detailed emissions reporting, boundary setting, and collaborative supply chain engagement.
- Comprehensive Emissions Reporting:
Windsor RSL’s FY24 Carbon Emissions Summary Report provided a detailed analysis of emissions across:- Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Fuel consumption, measured for the first time.
- Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): Electricity usage, a significant operational contributor.
- Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Emissions related to food, waste management, and professional services, reflecting the complexities of the hospitality value chain.
- The analysis revealed that food and electricity were the largest contributors to Windsor RSL’s carbon footprint, followed by waste and professional services. These findings offered actionable insights to target reduction efforts in high-impact areas.
- Boundary Setting with the GHG Protocol:
NetNada supported Windsor RSL in aligning its emissions reporting with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. This structured framework allowed the club to categorise emissions effectively, distinguishing between operationally controlled emissions and those within the supply chain. This approach provided clarity and accountability, enabling Windsor RSL to track progress and identify reduction opportunities across Scopes 1, 2, and 3. - Supply Chain Collaboration for Sustainability:
Windsor RSL worked with key suppliers in emissions-heavy categories like food and waste to promote sustainable practices across their value chain. These collaborations encouraged shared efforts to reduce carbon impacts, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility among suppliers.
