Wolves announced its collaboration with the non-profit organization Football for Future, creating the club's first environmental sustainability strategy.

Last year, the Wolves' 1877 Trust passed a motion encouraging the world of football to prioritize climate change.

To detect the appropriate objectives and approach, the club will have an analysis, which they call their “bootprint" or environmental impact. To aid with the execution of the strategy, Wolves and Football for Future will conduct staff seminars.

“We are delighted to embark upon this project, building upon the many positive steps already undertaken concerning energy efficiency, renewable energy and recycling,” said the club’s facilities, safety, and security director, Steve Sutton.
