Wolves launch 'One Pack, One Planet' sustainability initiative with Football For Future
Wolves have announced the launch of a new 'One Park, One Pack' initiative with the aim of making the club net zero by 2040.
The launch is the culmination of the club's year-long, hugely successful, partnership with environmental football non-profit Football For Future and shows a genuine commitment to climate action in the sport ahead of this weekend's Green Football Weekend.
The club's pledges set strong foundations for the club to launch an ambitious new phase of its sustainability journey, and is guided by four new commitments:
- Carbon: ”We will work towards becoming a net zero football club by 2040.”
- Waste: “We will embrace a circular economy, minimising waste and maximising
reuse.” - Nature: “We will protect our natural environment and support a wilder future.”
- Culture: “We’ll embed environmental sustainability across the club while engaging,
educating and communicating around sustainability.”
To celebrate the launch of 'One Pack, One Planet' this weekend, and raise awareness of the small changes people can implement in their everyday lives that make a difference, plant-based food options in the Molineux concourses will be discounted for home and away supporters, with 20% off the spicy bean roll and Bombay potato pie.
Furthermore, in a Premier League first, Wolves players and match officials will wear Green Football Weekend sustainable green armbands to highlight the initiative and put the conversation about climate change and sustainability on the world stage.
Speaking following the announcement, Wolves goalkeeper and 'One Pack, One Planet' ambassador David Bentely said: “Climate change, and how we can tackle it, is one of the most important conversations we can be having at this time, and I am really pleased Wolves are playing their part by launching One Pack, One Planet.
“Sometimes climate change can feel overwhelming, but if we all make small changes in our lives and contribute to help the future of the planet in little ways, over time it will make a big difference.
“I am really pleased to become an ambassador for One Pack, One Planet, and on Saturday, we will be proud to play our part in raising awareness of the subject by being the first Premier League teams to wear green armbands on Green Football Weekend."
