Resource efficiency is integral to our operations. Over the past year, we have achieved zero waste to landfill, a significant milestone in our waste management strategy. By increasing recycling rates by 35%, we have embraced the principles of the circular economy.
Our efforts include working closely with suppliers to improve packaging recyclability and educating staff and members on waste segregation. These actions ensure that materials are reused and recycled wherever possible, reducing our environmental footprint and contributing to a cleaner planet.

Energy efficiency and renewable energy adoption are key components of our sustainability strategy. In 2025, we will install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on our clubhouse, generating approximately 15% of our total electricity needs. This development complements our existing transition to 100% certified green electricity which has reduced emissions by 280 tCO2e per year since 2020, ensuring that our energy use aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
Our gas supply is changing to certified green gas in March 2025, further reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, further reducing our emissions by around 300 tCO2e per year.

Working with the Woodland Trust, we have restored 1.2 hectares of woodland within our grounds by planting a diverse mix of native trees. This project not only enhances the biodiversity of our club but also provides critical habitats for local wildlife, supporting birds, insects, and small mammals. By sequestering carbon, these trees actively help us offset our club’s carbon footprint, aligning with the UK’s broader net-zero targets.
