Carbon reduction
Supporting EU Climate Goals with Carbon-Responsible Turf Solutions
The European Union has set ambitious climate targets: a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and full climate neutrality by 2050. These goals have far-reaching implications—not only for industries but also for municipalities, sports clubs, and other organizations developing new sports infrastructure.
Complying with these regulations is essential, but the motivation goes beyond legal obligations. Reducing CO₂ emissions helps protect the environment, lowers long-term operational costs, and enhances your reputation as a sustainable organization. In fact, demonstrating measurable emissions reductions can offer a competitive advantage when bidding for public or private projects.
Our Commitment to Carbon Reduction
At Domo® Sports Grass, we are actively supporting clients in meeting EU climate targets. We have implemented a structured CO₂ reduction strategy that includes concrete actions to minimize our carbon footprint across the entire production and delivery chain.
Our efforts are backed by certification from the CO₂ Performance Ladder and Climate Neutral Group—two trusted frameworks that require proof of real, measurable impact. These certifications ensure that our products are developed within a carbon-responsible organization committed to sustainability.
By choosing Domo® Sports Grass, you partner with a company that not only complies with environmental regulations but actively contributes to a more sustainable future—helping you achieve your own carbon reduction goals.

How we reduce carbon emissions on product level
Our commitment to reducing carbon emissions extends to offering products specifically designed to support this mission. We focus on CO2 reduction at product level. This is done in the raw materials, including yarns and backings. In addition, our performance infill make a significant contribution to reducing the carbon footprint. Importantly, we keep the quality for the player high. Striking a balance between player performance and sustainability permeates every aspect of our offering. This eco-friendly approach allows us not only to deliver superior products, but also to make a tangible impact on CO2 reduction, step by step.

Frequently asked questions
Why is carbon removal important?
The greenhouse effect is the biggest driver of climate change. Greenhouse gases trap heat from the sun inside, preventing it from reaching space, this causes global warming. Many greenhouse gases occur from nature, but their concentrations increase significantly due to human influence. The biggest factor is CO2. To stop warming, this must be reduced drastically. To stop warming completely, net global CO2 emissions must reach zero.

What is a carbon footprint simple definition?
This is the total amount of greenhouse gases released directly or indirectly by an individual, organisation, event, product, or activity. This is usually expressed in KG or tonnes of CO2. Measuring its carbon footprint is a way of quantifying its impact on the environment and to see what can be improved. The carbon footprint includes scope 1, scope 2 and scope 3 emissions.

How does reducing CO2 help the environment?
Reducing your carbon emissions offers multiple environmental benefits. This is crucial due to its substantial impact on various environmental aspects such as global climate change, public health, and biodiversity conversation, but also on the global economy. Actively implementing CO2 reduction measures contributes to better air quality, cleaner water and healthier food. These positive changes not only benefit the present generation but also lay the foundation for improved environmental conditions for generations to come.
What are the benefits of reducing CO2?
CO2 reduction offers several benefits. These are mainly on the aspects of human health and environmental well-being. The biggest advantages are:
- Better air quality and healthier airways: CO2 reduction results in a decrease in harmful particles released into the air. Essentially, this enhances air quality, leading to healthier airways and a reduction in illnesses, ultimately contributing to overall well-being.
- Less pollution: Carbon emissions are a contributor to air pollution, which posing a threat to entire ecosystems. Consequently, CO2 reduction leads to a decrease in the negative impact on plants, animals, and ecosystems. This supports biodiversity and maintains ecological balance.
- Regulatory compliance: Some regions already have strict regulations in place to limit carbon emissions. By actively do carbon reduction activities, industries, organisations, individuals, and municipalities can comply to these environmental regulations.
- Energy efficiency: This is a result of CO2 reduction measures on energy supplies. Most organisations make the transition to install their own solar panels to produce their own energy. This leads eventually to cost savings.
- Positive economic impact: Sustainable practices involves in the development of new green technology and industries. This creates more job opportunities and contributing to the economic growth.
