Bundesliga 2021 – English

All sites use 100% green energy.
100% renewable energy supplier since 2011 - saving 3600t CO2e/year, plus onsite solar PV electricity generation, CHP system in place + District Heating.

VfL Wolfsburg is using a holistic approach towards energy efficiency. An environmental compliance management system (ECMS) helps to define targets. LED floodlights at stadium consumer 12% less power. Central building energy control installed in 2002 (heating, ventilation, cooling, lighting).

Promotes free travel for employees and volunteers, cycling and e-bikes as well as car pools. VfL offers season tickets and admission tickets for the home games of the women's and U23 teams in the AOK stadium, which can be used as combined tickets for the local public transport system. Stewards and volunteers travel free of charge on the buses of Wolfsburger Verkehrs GmbH. Fan travel survey: To better understand the mobility behavior of viewers, VfL carried out a mobility analysis in 2016.

Bioplastic cups are used, which are collected in a separate waste stream, and reusable coffee cups are offered with a deposit. Reusable mugs are used in the Volkswagen Arena and in the AOK Stadium.

No waste in landfills. The aim within ECMS is to conserve resources and manage resources responsibly.

ECMS identifies the potential for water reduction in the stadium and other locations in the club. Water-saving and automatic taps were installed in the stadium, which save around 800 cubic meters of drinking water every year. Toilets use rainwater. VfL Wolfsburg irrigates its football pitches with water from the nearby canal.

Vegan / vegetarian options are available at all of the club's locations. Vegan dishes in the Volkswagen Arena: the vegan Volkswagen currywurst, various soups as well as the classic French fries and pretzels. After the reopening, more vegan food will be offered in the stadium.

- 51% - car
- 40% - public transport
- 6% - bike
- 2% - on foot
(- 1% = other)

Since 2019, all drinks have been served in reusable cups. Fans can then collect their deposit (2 euros) or donate it to the FC Foundation. The aim of the association is to reduce the use of single-use plastics at all locations.

Around 85% of the waste is recycled. The rest is burned and energy is generated and reused. The association's waste management strategy applies to all locations with the exception of the stadium, which is owned and operated by a municipal subsidiary.

Water efficiency measures are carried out on a case-by-case basis. Waterless urinals are used in the stadium and on the training ground. Reducing water flow rates in the shower areas. A rainwater cistern for the use of service water was installed in the club's boarding school. The two water storage tanks have a total volume of 30,000 litres.

Vegan food is not only offered to employees and guests every day in the stadium, but also in the canteen (which is also a public restaurant). 80% of all food and drinks offered in the stadium (both in the public and in the hospitality area) and in the locations come from the region.

The WWK ARENA is the first climate-neutral football stadium in the world. The majority is achieved with two large heat pumps. These use the near-surface geothermal energy and form the core of the energy system. In view of onside generation at both locations, as well as the decision to use renewable energy sources for all external inputs, at least 80% of the total energy consumed and provided at all locations of the association comes from renewable sources.

An energy management system is in place and various measures to improve energy efficiency are being implemented at all locations. 12,000 litres of water can now be heated to 60 degrees Celsius using a heating system. This means that the VIP and lounge areas as well as the changing rooms and the offices in the WWK ARENA can be heated during the cold months of the year. This energy is also sufficient to cover the underfloor heating.

Colleagues from different departments work together on topics such as energy, water systems, mobility, catering and waste.

Around 60 % of energy comes from renewable sources.

All kitchen appliances are exchanged and replaced over the long term. This applies to all grills, convection ovens, quick washers and cold stores. The new devices should explicitly be energy-saving.

The number of cars per game day is recorded by the club.

A cup collection system was introduced in February 2019. After use, the plastic cups are collected in the stadium, picked up and processed regionally into granules. New cups are then made from the granulate, creating a closed cycle. The transport routes are shortened considerably and the cups are brought into the recycling cycle in a sustainable manner. The recovery rate for beer mugs is now around 90 percent. Fans are also encouraged to place the cups in the cup collector.

Lugis automatically breaks down food waste completely into water. Waste is sorted and pressed on the club's premises

Water efficiency measures are currently being assessed on a case-by-case basis. Water-saving attachments on taps. In the VELTINS Arena, water consumption is reduced by dishwashers with water-saving technologies or water-saving attachments.
