Coventry Building Society Arena scores 50 out of 100, but has not yet cleared the Minimum Threshold in energy and governance, so it stays in the Listed tier. On its own reporting, arena tonnage not disclosed; sponsor (CBS) carbon-neutral S1&2 since 2021. It performs strongest on waste & circularity and has the most room to improve on certifications & recognition.

What we found

Desk review: the carbon-neutral claims belong to the naming sponsor Coventry Building Society (carbon-neutral S1&2 since 2021, -50% 2020->24), not the arena. The arena's own published action is a SkootEco 5p-per-pint offset scheme. Sponsor performance is not transferable to the venue.
