Greening the Billabong Pro

The iconic surf brand Billabong, along with its flagship event—the Billabong Pro at Jeffreys Bay—set out to significantly reduce its climate impact.

Cleaner Climate conducted a comprehensive GHG assessment of the Jeffreys Bay event in South Africa, analyzing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions to capture the full footprint of both direct and indirect carbon impacts.

In addition to the audit, Cleaner Climate recommended a suite of sustainability initiatives, including solar-heated showers for surfers post-competition and the innovative use of recycled KFC cooking oil to power event generators with biodiesel.

The project was groundbreaking—so much so that it was acknowledged in the official minutes of a South African parliamentary session by the House Speaker, marking a first for a surf event in the world.
