Aberdeen Football Club are committed to reducing the Club’s carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2040.
Having joined other sports organisations in the UN Sports for Climate Action movement in March 2022; Aberdeen FC made public their pledge and subsequently appointed the Club’s first Net Zero Advisory Partner, Positive Planet.
Aberdeen FC has long been actively reducing their impact on the environment through initiatives such as innovative water management, LED sensor-operated lighting, eco-friendly showers and work that ensures food, waste oil, grass cuttings, plastic, paper and cardboard are all recycled.
In Partnership with First Bus and Stagecoach, the Club has also been able to provide free public transport for fans on matchdays.
The work with Positive Planet has resulted in the recent publication of a benchmarking report on the Club’s carbon footprint which enables planning for further systematic efforts to meet the targets to net zero that have been set.
