Wembley goes green: My Emissions teams up with UEFA and Just Eat Takeaway.com to deliver sustainable food choices for football fans at Champions League Final

My Emissions, the official carbon labelling partner of Just Eat Takeaway.com, is excited to announce its collaboration with UEFA to drive sustainability at the 2024 UEFA Champions League Final.

Through Champions Innovate, an initiative launched by UEFA to explore innovative solutions for sustainability at major sporting events, My Emissions is working closely with Just Eat Takeaway.com to carbon label the food at and around the 2024 UEFA Champions League Final.

The My Emissions carbon label, which uses a simple A-E rating system, will be displayed on menu boards at Wembley Stadium for the Final. All food trucks at the ‘Champions Festival’ sites will also have their menus carbon labelled. The Champions Festival sites are open to the public from Thursday 30th May until Sunday 2nd June, and include sites like Regent Street and Trafalgar Square.

This sets a new standard for sustainable food service at large-scale events. After the event, My Emissions will work closely with UEFA, Just Eat Takeaway.com and other partners to review the impact of the initiatives.

UEFA introduced Champions Innovate in September 2023, laying out various sustainability challenges identified by its partners, including PepsiCo, Mastercard, and Just Eat Takeaway.com. This venture is part of UEFA’s robust Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) strategy targeting the 2024 final.
