Liverpool FC announced that during the 2023-24 season the club offset 100% of its football operations emissions, lowered its overall carbon emissions by 12.5% compared to the previous season (2022-23), and achieved a 15% reduction on its 2019-20 baseline.

Environmental sustainability remains a central focus of the sports team, with 96% of all energy used at club sites coming from renewable or low-carbon sources. 

The club also took significant steps to reduce emissions from travel — including eliminating 100% of carbon emissions from domestic team flights through investment in sustainable aviation fuel — and continues to utilize hydrotreated vegetable oil to fuel its team buses, which creates a reduction in carbon emissions of up to 90% from regular diesel.

Liverpool FC detailed its sustainability progress in its latest The Red Way report. The report, which was launched in 2021, is aligned to 16 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, with a strategy that outlines the progress made on the club’s long-term commitment to driving positive change through governance, innovation, and strategic and collective action.

“The Red Way is more than a strategy — it’s a key priority for the club and is embedded into every aspect of the business,” said Rishi Jain, director of impact at Liverpool FC, in a statement. “This is our third annual report and it’s incredible to see the progress that has been made and that we continue to make, thanks to the support from our fans, staff, partners and communities, who help us achieve our ambition to be a truly sustainable football club. We have set ambitious targets, including achieving net zero by 2040, and we understand that we are on a journey and there is still much more to do.”
