Our Commitment to Sustainability

Our Commitment to Sustainability 

At Plymouth Argyle Football Club, we believe that preserving our planet for future generations is a responsibility we proudly embrace. On Earth Day 2022, we launched our inaugural Energy and Environmental Plan (2022-2025), marking the beginning of our journey towards achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This comprehensive plan outlines measurable steps to halve our emissions by 2030, focusing on areas such as energy efficiency, waste reduction, sustainable procurement, and more.  

You can also explore our full Environmental Plan here, which highlights our strategic vision and the eight key areas of focus driving meaningful change. 

Our latest Carbon Report, detailing the club's progress and impact, is now available for review, offering transparency and accountability in our commitment to sustainability.
