Sutton Utd has published its latest Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report, covering the 2023/24 and 2024/25 seasons. The report focuses on sustainability across social, economic, and environmental aspects, including detailed data on the club’s environmental impacts. Despite finishing 19th in the National League last season with 47 points (11W-14D-21L), the club remains committed to its sustainability goals.
What does the CSR report cover?
The report examines the club’s triple bottom line of sustainability, with a strong emphasis on environmental impacts. It includes comprehensive data on carbon emissions, particularly Scope 3 emissions, which are complex to analyze. Sustainability Lead Dave Farebrother explained the delay in publishing the report, noting that the data analysis process was time-consuming but now streamlined for future reports.
Why is this important for Sutton Utd?
Sutton Utd’s CSR report highlights the club’s dedication to sustainability, even amid on-field challenges. The club’s recent form, with five consecutive losses (LLLLL) and a 1-0 defeat to Boreham Wood on April 25, 2026, underscores the need for off-field initiatives to strengthen the club’s overall resilience. The report also sets the stage for future sustainability efforts, with plans to publish the 2025/26 report later this year.
What’s next for Sutton Utd’s sustainability efforts?
Looking ahead, Sutton Utd aims to publish annual CSR reports shortly after each financial year ends. The club is already working on the 2025/26 report, which will continue to focus on sustainability and environmental impacts. With a goal difference of -20 last season (59 scored, 79 conceded), the club hopes that its off-field initiatives will complement its on-field performance in the coming seasons.
