Water is a finite resource that is essential to all life, it is a crucial element of running a football club too, from bathroom and kitchen facilities at stadiums to irrigating pitches. Nine Premier League clubs have rainwater or groundwater reuse efforts. Behaviour change plays an important role in water saving too, Liverpool F.C recently issued a letter to its Academy players and families to detail ways that water usage in their homes can be reduced.

Team and fan travel is frequently highlighted as a visible or major part of a football club’s carbon footprint. It’s not an easy problem to solve, but action is being taken. Brighton and Hove Albion F.C. are thinking of the environment and fan’s wallets by subsidising free travel for home and away fans on buses and trains within their free travel zone. Eight clubs have undertaken fan travel surveys to understand how their fans get to games and published those results on their websites.

Under this commitment, clubs must also develop a greenhouse gas emissions dataset, including scope 1, 2 and 3, by the end of the 2025/26 season. The report shows that six clubs have this dataset and currently publish their GHG emissions, one has the dataset but it is not currently public and five more clubs are in the process of calculating or reviewing their GHG emissions.
