LFC sets new energy reduction target
Liverpool Football Club has announced that it plans to reduce its energy consumption by a further 10 per cent after smashing its previous year’s reduction target.
12 months ago, LFC's senior management team signed up to a new energy and carbon policy to embed an energy-saving culture amongst its workforce and reduce its overall consumption by 10 per cent.
The club managed to beat this target by reducing its gas consumption by 18 per cent and electricity consumption by 13 per cent, saving enough gas and electricity to power more than 350 homes for a year.
The Reds going Green steering group, which was established to implement good practises and new ways of working to support the initiative, has set another ambitious 10 per cent reduction target for next year.
In addition to reducing gas and electricity, a waste and recycling programme is currently being developed by the Reds going Green initiative, which will strive to reduce landfill waste throughout all the club's operations. The programme, which will include wider stakeholder and fan engagement to help meet the key waste reduction, will be implemented over the next 12 months.
Andrew Parkinson, operations director at LFC, said: "The energy and carbon policy that we established last year clearly demonstrated our commitment to significantly reducing our overall consumption. The results we achieved validated the effort and hard work that was carried out by our staff across all our sites.
"It's important that we build on the success of the Reds going Green programme and strive to achieve further reductions across the business as well as investing in other areas such as water consumption and waste management."
