Liverpool FC has published its latest The Red Way report, detailing significant progress across its sustainability strategy and broader social impact initiatives.
The club confirmed it is now aligned with all 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, marking a key milestone in its long-term environmental and social roadmap. Recent efforts include expanding into ocean sustainability through the “Reds for Blue†programme, delivered in partnership with AXA and the Tara Ocean Foundation to promote awareness around ocean health.
On the environmental front, Liverpool reports a 13% reduction in total carbon emissions compared to its 2019–20 baseline, with 96% of club operations now powered by clean energy. Emissions linked directly to football operations are fully offset, while additional steps — such as the use of sustainable aviation fuel for domestic travel — remain in place.
At Anfield, the club has introduced practical measures to reduce waste, including reusable cups and food containers that have eliminated more than 310,000 single-use items. Biodiversity initiatives have also been rolled out across training facilities, including the adoption of robotic mowing technology to support more sustainable groundskeeping.
Beyond environmental metrics, Liverpool’s community impact continues to scale. Through the LFC Foundation, the club supported over 145,000 individuals last season, generating an estimated £365.79 million in social value.
Launched in 2021, The Red Way strategy reflects a broader shift across UK football, where clubs are placing increased emphasis on sustainability, governance, and community engagement. Liverpool’s latest report positions the club among the more advanced operators in this space, combining environmental action with measurable social outcomes.
