One Pack, One Planet focus fixtures
On the last weekend of January Wolves hosted their dedicated One Pack, One Planet focus fixtures. The men’s first-team faced Arsenal at Molineux on the Saturday, before Wolves Women met Derby County at SEAH Stadium on the Sunday.
One Pack, One Planet messaging featured, including on the big screen at Molineux, in the fan zone and in the matchday programmes, highlighting the club’s sustainability efforts.
Supporters were offered a 25 per cent discount on some of the many plant-based food options in the concourses and new recycling bins were installed for the first time to enable fans to separate waste.
The Wolves Express podcast episodes featured interviews with recently unveiled One Pack, One Planet ambassador and women’s first-team player Merrick Will, as well as Wolves sustainability lead Thom Rawson.

Merrick Will appointed One Pack, One Planet ambassador
Wolves Women midfielder Merrick Will was appointed as the latest One Pack, One Planet ambassador to help drive the project’s sustainability efforts across the club.
The midfielder also joined up with Football For Future and Common Goal for season two of their Climate Champions programme. As part of this community of like-minded elite global footballers, the programme was designed to support Will in championing sustainability within her own footballing community and beyond.
Will said: “I’m really pleased to be involved and to start my journey in environmental sustainability and just try to get more involved where I can. It’s really exciting.”

Wolves Foundation join Clean Air Champions League
Wolves Foundation joined a new initiative – the Clean Air Champions League – an exciting new project focused on tackling air pollution across the continent.
The new initiative, being led by Irish club Bohemians and supported by the European Football for Development Network, will include the installation of air quality monitoring systems at five different venues across Europe, tracking the emissions around the respective stadia.
Alongside the collection of this data, an online resource will feature a ‘live’ league table ranking clubs based on the local air quality, as well as fan and community led initiatives to raise awareness and encourage action on air quality and climate health.

Wolves support climate projects using Green Hedging
Wolves made the most of an innovative service that sees their international trading support climate-beneficial projects and bring measurable social and environmental benefits to communities worldwide.
In 2024 alone, the project funded efforts offsetting more than 6,800 tonnes of carbon emissions – equivalent to over 80 per cent of Wolves’ carbon footprint reported for the 2023/24 season – and generated an estimated $680,000 in economic and social value.
The product, known as Green Hedging, integrates climate funding directly into foreign currency transactions for Wolves’ transfer fee payments. By adjusting the exchange rate marginally, the club contributes to Gold Standard-certified climate projects, while the impact of their climate funding doubles through matched contributions from the product’s founders.

Free bus travel for Wolves supporters
Following the success of a promotion for season ticket holders earlier this season, Wolves and Transport for West Midlands once again teamed up to provide a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly form of local transport for supporters.
The West Midlands Bus Scheme was launched exclusively for Wolves supporters in the West Midlands area and allowed those supporters a week of free bus travel around the West Midlands.
