Forest Green Rovers Environmental Policy can be viewed on the club’s website. A web page titled "Another Way" on the Forest Green Rovers website is dedicated to the sustainability initiatives of the club. Is a signatory to the UN’s Sports for Climate Action on the Race to Zero. As part of its UN work, the club has committed to a 50% cut in emissions by 2030 and has outlined its strategy on the website. An Environmental Management System has been in operation at FGR since 2012 and is certified for ISO14001 as part of The Green Britain Group Ltd.

Approximately 15 to 20% of the club’s electricity each year is generated via the solar panels on site (47kW & 2kW arrays). The remainder of the electricity is supplied by Ecotricity as a 100% renewable supplier. The natural gas used on site is supplied by Ecotricity via their Carbon Neutral gas tariff, which covers the residual emissions from burning the gas by the purchase of carbon offsets.

An Environmental Management System has been in operation at FGR since 2012 and is certified for ISO14001 as part of The Green Britain Group Ltd. Energy systems have been optimised to reduce energy consumption; thermostats zoned to reduce the heat load in less used areas such as walkways. Switched to a carbon neutral gas tariff which drastically reduced its energy related emissions. Uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in floodlights. Smart meters have been installed for energy monitoring.

Has a Sustainable Travel Policy at FGR as part of the Green Britain Group of companies which sets out a hierarchical approach to selecting the most appropriate method of transport for a journey as well as procurement guidance for pool vehicles. FGR provides cycle parking for staff and visitors (including match days) as well as providing electric charging points for visitors. Information is provided on the website to encourage fans to use sustainable forms of transport when they visit FGR. The club measures the carbon emissions of staff, team and fan travel and reports the results on its website.

Single use plastics have been removed from the site. Procurement guidance promotes a full lifecycle review of new products which includes how FGR dispose of materials at the end of life. Food containers have been replaced by corn starch cutlery and reusable chip trays and cups. Condiments are dispensed via pump dispensers rather than single use sachets. Installed refill drinking water stations to eliminate single-use plastic water bottles, allowing staff and players to refill their own flasks.

Local waste experts Grundon ensure any waste from the innocent New Lawn is diverted from landfill, as well as sending waste to recovery facilities to generate green energy. Procurement guidelines encourage a lifecycle consideration to optimise recycling and reduce general waste generated from site. Through lifecycle consideration, the club removes waste before it becomes waste e.g. portion sizes, the amount of material being cooked, use of recyclable products and containers. Added a set of toilets for the away fans which clean up the effluent to produce soil conditioner, whilst the (clean) waste water is redirected to the pitch.

Captures rain that falls on the pitch which is then stored in a tank for use in irrigation. Monitors water consumption on site (stadium, offices and shop) to identify any leaks in the system and implement repairs quickly. This season, introduced a new toilet block for away fans that will take the liquid waste, filter and cleanse it and then use that clean water for further irrigation. The club has duel flush toilets and waterless urinals.

All food is 100% Vegan (Certified by the Vegan Society). 100% vegan food is made for players, staff and fans every week. Vegan food options change each matchday weekend based on locally sourced ingredients. All of Forest Green Rovers’ food is made in Gloucestershire at its own facility which has ISO14001 Environmental Management and SALSA certification.

The club has an Ecology Report for its “The New Lawn” site which covers protected species, protected habitats and biodiversity enhancements. Subsequent bat, reptile, amphibian, badger, breeding birds and floral surveys have taken place. Forest Green Rovers’ Eco Trail includes beehives which helps support biodiversity in the area. Borders of The New Lawn site are planted with wild flowers to support pollinators with bug boxes and a bee hive.

FGR has a player engagement plan for the season which is delivered by the FGR Community Trust. This encompasses the first team, women's team and scholars. Locally, Forest Green Rovers spreads the word about sustainability through its Ambassador Scheme, which provides a valuable link between the Forest Green Rovers and over 100 local schools, youth and community groups. Carries out guided Eco Trail tours before every home match and also offers them as standalone sessions to schools and colleges, with a guide and content tailored to the level of the group. All staff are inducted with respect to environmental impact and sustainability at induction.

Forest Green Rovers Environmental Policy can be viewed on the club’s website. A web page titled "Another Way" on the Forest Green Rovers website is dedicated to the sustainability initiatives of the club. Teamed up with Sea Shepherd UK and Quorn for a guided beach clean with Sea Shepherd UK and the chance to take part in some ocean challenges and conversations, exploring stories from the deep and how to protect the ocean. Media interest in the sustainable endeavours at FGR is constant and helps the club to raise the issues surrounding its key pillars of focus – energy, transport, food and supporting nature.

The Ashton Gate Stadium has 750m2 of solar panels on the Lansdown Stand roof. The Robins HPC incorporates renewable energy in the form of the latest heat pump technology. By design, 91.72% of the Robins HPC’s overall energy demand is met from air source heat pumps and air to water heat pumps, which heats the water in the building. The club has advised Sport Positive that it does not believe its use of renewable energy is over 40%.

Ashton Gate Stadium’s redevelopment was rated as BREEAM very good. Is ESOS compliant with its ESOS Phase 2 report completed in October 2020. Both Ashton Gate Stadium and Robins HPC have Building Management Systems to carefully manage energy usage and cut consumption. Low-energy lighting is used at Ashton Gate. The Robins HPC uses all LED lighting including inside the building and the floodlights.

Promotes the use of public transport (Public Bus, M2 MetroBus and Rail), E-Scooters, walking and cycling routes to the stadium. The Ashton Gate matchday shuttle buses are all subsidised and very popular. The last transport survey was pre-Covid (April 2019) and suggested cycling had increased 400% in 7 years, shuttle bus patronage had increased 300% in 3 years, additional rail services increased from 0 to 22 per season and rail had increased from 3% in 2013 to 8.1% in 2019. Another transport survey will take place in the coming months.

Currently not single-use plastic free. There is a stated policy in place to reduce single-use plastic where it is safe, practical and affordable to do so. A new Brita tap has been installed in the academy restaurant at the Robins HPC to avoid further single use plastic. Single use plastic cutlery/straws are removed where spotted.

Primary waste provider ETM are zero waste to landfill and the club has confirmed that it has a waste management programme across all of its sites. Waste travels 500m from Ashton Gate to where it is sorted. Food from all sites (stadium and training ground) which can’t be donated goes to Keenan’s processing centre where it is converted into energy using anaerobic digestion.

A ‘Water Savings and Efficiency Plan’ which covers Ashton Gate Stadium, Robins HPC (Bristol City’s training ground), Bears HPC (rugby training ground) and SGS College Arena (where Bristol Flyers train and play) is in progress. The Robins HPC use a ‘waste2water’ system for cleaning machines, which uses and then recycles the water. Water butts can be found at both the stadium and training ground. Low water consumption taps and dual-flush toilets in Robins HPC and Ashton Gate.

On a typical home match day, general admittance vegetarians can enjoy 14 options that are suitable for Vegans. Over 50% of products sold at Ashton Gate travel fewer than 12 miles to the stadium. Staff at the Robins HPC can purchase food in the staff canteen which has vegetarian and vegan options every day including multiple Vegan milk alternatives. This is also available for players who also have vegan options at every away trip. The players only regularly eat at the stadium post-match, but a vegan option is always on their options list.

Has a live Ecological Landscaping, Management and Enhancement Plan for the Robins HPC. At the Robins HPC, the following has been installed; six bat boxes, six 1B Schwegler nest boxes on trees (with different diameters for different species), six dormice nest boxes, x1 bug hotel, 1 ladybird tower, x1 bee house and a raised vegetable plot which will be beneficial to local pollinators (another one is in the pipeline). Ashton Gate has a management plan which focuses on the brook which runs through the site with particular efforts on invasive species and wildflowers.

Players have attended an environmental workshop and the club captain is the de-facto champion. The Robins Foundation, depending on the module of the course – provides education around all forms of sustainability including environment. Staff have been sent a carbon calculator for personal use and included within staff induction process.
