Asuene to Support CO2 Emissions Calculations for Osaka Marathon 2027 Event
Asuene has signed a sustainability partnership with the Osaka Marathon Foundation to measure CO2 emissions before and after the February 28, 2027, race.
Asuene said Oct. 29, 2026, that it has signed a sustainability partnership with the Osaka Marathon Foundation, a general incorporated foundation, for the Osaka Marathon 2027. The company will support calculations of CO2 emissions tied to race operations and help set reduction targets. The race will be held Feb. 28, 2027.
Specifically, Asuene plans to conduct a preliminary calculation before the race and a follow-up calculation after it. The company plans to use these to understand total emissions from race operations and the main sources of those emissions. Based on the results, it will also support the setting of CO2 emission reduction targets.
The Osaka Marathon is an urban marathon with a concept of 'Osaka is the more fun marathon!' and attracts many runners from Japan and abroad. The 2026 race was held as a World Athletics Gold Label Road Race.
The Osaka Marathon Foundation, the organizer, was established in August 2026. It says it aims to carry on the legacy of the Osaka-Kansai Expo and to realize a sustainable race, including reducing environmental impact to the highest global standard.
At international sporting events, understanding and reducing environmental impact is increasingly seen as a requirement for event operations. Measuring emissions and running events in ways that lead to reductions are becoming more important.
Calculating CO2 emissions means identifying emission sources such as transportation, venues and materials used at a race. Setting reduction targets based on the results can lead to continuous improvement of the event. Asuene says it will measure race emissions both before and after the event, laying the groundwork for that effort.
