The hidden cost

What traditional trophies really cost

“The production of physical medals and trophies involves various materials, including metals, plastics and wood, plus transportation, contributing to carbon emissions and environmental degradation.”

WBSC reduced award emissions from 4,000 t to 0.5 t CO₂e

Challenge

WBSC delivers 90–100 prizes per event. Physical production meant materials, transport, and thousands of tonnes of CO₂ each year.

Solution

In collaboration with Legend, WBSC embraced digital trophies as a sustainable alternative — starting from the 1st Baseball5 World Cup in Mexico City, 2022.

Result

Total footprint dropped from 4,000 t CO₂e to 0.5 t CO₂e. Gold medal emissions went from 708 kg to just 0.4 g. Operational since 2022.

“Our digital project plays a crucial role in achieving this goal, bringing further innovation to our sport while also aligning our organisation with global sustainability efforts to reduce carbon emissions and environmental degradation.”
