Putting Principles Into Practice The power of The Climate Pledge is bringing companies together to accelerate action—and that’s just what happened with Climate Pledge Arena . Oak View Group , the Seattle Kraken , and Amazon—all signatories of The Climate Pledge—worked together to build the most sustainable arena in the world. Named by Amazon and opened in 2021, Seattle’s history-making Climate Pledge Arena embodies the spirit of the Pledge and aims to set a new sustainability bar for the sports and events industry. In November 2020, the arena submitted its net-zero carbon registration to the International Living Future Institute. If certification is achieved, Climate Pledge Arena will be the first net-zero carbon certified arena in the world. Renewable electricity from on-site solar panels and off-site renewable energy powers 100% of the arena’s operations. The stadium uses reclaimed rainwater stored in the ice rink system, a concept called “Rain to Rink,” to create the greenest ice in the National Hockey League (NHL). The building itself is also a feat; the original 44-million-pound roof from the previous Key Arena was reused in the construction to significantly reduce the embodied carbon of the new arena. The arena is also aiming to divert over 97% of waste and eliminate 100% of single-use plastics by 2024. As for the guest experience, at least 75% of the ingredients of food served in the arena will be sourced within a 300-mile radius and on a seasonal basis to support regional farmers and producers. All viable unused food from events will be donated to local community food programs. The arena stands as a living example of what’s possible in the transition to a low-carbon economy. It’s not about giving up things we love—it’s about using innovation, technology, and great design to do them better than before. 2021 Sustainability Report Introduction I Environment I Society I Governance I Appendix 15
