Sector pain points

Every edition starts from scratch. Every sponsor wants more.

What festival organisers and sport clubs told us before Tapio.

80% of your emissions come from spectator travel you do not control

You cannot measure what you do not own — yet sponsors want a footprint anyway.

Each edition is different. Each year you start over.

No baseline, no comparison, no story to tell.

Regional subsidies are conditional on a carbon report you cannot afford

No consultant budget, no standard methodology.

UEFA will demand GHG reporting to stay in European competition

Your volunteer staff has none of the technical skills.

Sponsors compare your numbers to other clubs and festivals

You cannot defend your hypotheses or your progress year on year.

How Tapio helps

Concretely, here is what changes for festivals and sport clubs

Five capabilities that turn one chaotic edition into a publishable baseline.

Spectator travel modeler

Postcode-based attendance analysis. Convert ticket sales into a defendable scope 3 travel footprint sponsors can verify.

Year-on-year baseline

Compare 2024 to 2025 to 2026 with the same method. Prove progress to sponsors, federations and the press with a single dashboard.

Sponsor-ready PDF reports

One-click reports formatted for UEFA, FWB, regional subsidy bodies and headline sponsors. No graphic designer needed.

Volunteer-friendly UI

No carbon expertise required. Your volunteer team enters fuel litres, kWh and ticket numbers — Tapio does the rest.

PPWR packaging tracker

Track reusable cups, single-use bans and supplier compliance for every edition. ROI of switching built into the analysis.
