Here's an outline of some of the club initiatives that have made a major impact on our environmental performance:
- We operate a comprehensive waste management programme, and are currently recycling 70 per cent of waste.
- We engage in responsible printing, with 98 per cent of our printed materials produced by a member of the Forest Stewardship Council.
- Our electricity consumption has been decreasing for the past nine years, with heating, lighting and electrical equipment remotely controlled.
- Up to 85 per cent of our food is sourced from the five counties surrounding the West Midlands, helping us to win the Green Restaurant Award (Purchasing) last year.
- We have a structured travel plan, aimed at significantly reducing the number of cars visiting Villa Park.
- Water-saving taps have meant our water consumption has fallen over the past three years.
.... which is another way of saying they've spent the last few years driving supporters away!
