The Football Association

Sustainability has been a key issue for The FA Group since the new Wembley Stadium opened its doors to the sporting public and music fans in 2007 for Live Earth. We developed our first sustainability strategy in 2009, Wembley Stadium became the first sporting venue to achieve the Carbon Trust Triple Standard in 2014, we installed almost 1000 solar panels at St. George’s Park in 2015 and we achieved certification to ISO 20121 for our event sustainability management system for Wembley Stadium in 2019. SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE Our sustainability strategy is governed by FAST, The FA Group’s Sustainability Team. FAST is a group of passionate employees from across the business keen to continuously improve the way that we work. They drive progress on a range of issues, from energy and waste to community and wellbeing. FAST was founded with the aim of empowering all employees to make a difference. There are squads for each significant sustainability issue for events at Wembley, made up of employees passionate about reducing our environmental impacts, enhancing our workplace and culture, or having a positive impact on society.
