New 360° environmental strategy
The club has also adopted decisive measures for the good of the environment. As laid out in its 360° environmental strategy published in 2024, VfL Wolfsburg is focusing on efficient energy use, resource-conserving catering practices and climate-friendly mobility concepts. As a pioneer in environmental protection strategies, the club is installing microplastic filters at the VfL academy and at Elsterweg, while also using microplastic-free infill material for new artificial pitches.
Social responsibility and a clear stance
VfL Wolfsburg sees itself not only as a football club, but as a social driving force that stands for an open and tolerant society. âWeâre currently experiencing a shift to the right in Germany, which goes hand in hand with intolerance, exclusion and misanthropy,â VfL managing director Michael Meeske says in the foreword of the sustainability report. âFor us, these inhumane, increasingly right-wing populist and right-wing extremist attitudes and actions have no place in football or in society.â
Diversity at the stadium and in society
The club is actively involved in promoting inclusion and diversity, both on and off the pitch. VfL Wolfsburg is committed to education, integration and democratic values, with projects such as the âGrĂŒn-WeiĂes Klassenzimmerâ (âGreen-and-White classroomâ) and the Diversity Matchday. Moreover, matchday commentary for visually impaired supporters is being expanded to further improve accessibility at the stadium.
Together for a sustainable future
The sustainability report âWir fĂŒr morgenâ (âUs for tomorrowâ) highlights the fact that environmental action at VfL Wolfsburg is seen as a joint task. ââWeâ means standing together and working together to shape a worthwhile today and tomorrow,â says Meeske. âThrough this report, we not only want to highlight our progress but also invite fans, our partners and society to be proactive in their support for a sustainable future.â
