Aston Villa Football Club

CRC compliance can be a costly and time consuming exercise, as it involves a lengthy process of having to coordinate a lot of data from many different suppliers. Non-compliance can result in large fines and damage to company reputation through prosecution and bad publicity.

The club soon discovered that ensuring compliance with this legislation could cost them a lot of money due to the time and resource it would take to become familiar with the requirements.

• Aston Villa FC has been using us to comply with the CRC Regulations since they came into force
• Aston Villa FC saved a lot of time by outsourcing CRC compliance to us, as our knowledge of the Regulations ensured they were complying correctly
• We kept them informed during the whole process, which meant that Aston Villa FC were confident they would comply
• The associated fees for CRC compliance can be very high and inaccurate data may mean that a company ends up with an obligation that is higher than it should be. We ensured that Aston Villa’s obligation was calculated correctly to avoid over obligation

• Outsourcing CRC compliance to us has meant that Aston Villa can be confident that they will comply on time every year
• We fully research any changes to CRC legislation (e.g. the simplification process) so they know exactly how it will affect the club’s obligations
• We have been able to save Aston Villa money by guiding them through the forward buying scheme for Phase 2. By taking advantage of this, Aston Villa will save 5% on each tonne of carbon allowance they forward buy for Phase 2
• Outsourcing CRC compliance to us means Aston Villa can focus on their core business and not worry about environmental legislation
