Measuring Watershed's workplace emissions
For this past year, we’ve been continuing to account for our carbon impact using our own bespoke carbon accounting tool.
This accounting enables us to more deeply understand our emissions and gather valuable insight into areas of focus for the years ahead.
Carbon footprint 2024 - 2025
The better we get at accounting, the more we count
Our carbon footprint for 2024 - 2025 is up by 16% compared to the previous year. This is a significant amount, but we understand why. As of April 2024 we have been able to additionally account for all food & drink purchased as part of our Venue Hire operations – meetings, events, conferences, workshops etc. Previous food & drink carbon accounting only included our Café & Bar provision.
For 2024 - 2025, emissions calculated for Watershed operations are estimated to be 544t CO2e. This is equivalent to about 198 return flights from London to New York or about 4.2 t CO2e per full time employee equivalent.

What next for our carbon emissions
We’ve already tackled some of the less complex steps in our climate action – such as using as many local suppliers as possible – but now we're focusing on more complex, long-term goals.
This includes retrofitting our building and addressing emissions from our food and drink supply chains. These changes will take time, collaboration, and resource but we’re confident they’ll have a positive impact in the longer term.
We may not see the fruit of this labour for a few years, but we are dedicated to it.
