  Episode 14: Inside the First Carbon Neutral Non-League Football Club in the UK

  Jul 2, 202632 min

  Nearly 100,000 people call Redditch home. Not many know their football club is leading the way on climate action. In this episode, Alan Stenson meets David Faulkner, Chairman and CEO of Redditch United Football Club, to unpack how a club founded in 1891 became one of the first non-league sides in the country to achieve certified carbon neutral status. It is a story that starts with data. David reveals how tracking the club's social impact surfaced a staggering 3.9 million pounds of value delivered to the town, turning good intentions into hard evidence and a real plan for change. From there, the conversation opens up into leadership, culture and community, including why David refuses to be called an owner and insists the club's progress belongs to everyone who helped build it. Part sustainability story, part leadership lesson, this episode makes the case that meaningful climate action does not need a corporate budget to happen. It just needs someone willing to start. About the guest: David Faulkner is Chairman of Redditch United Football Club, where he has driven a period of significant change built around sustainability, community engagement and long term development. Under his leadership, the club has become nationally recognised as one of the first carbon neutral non-league football clubs in the UK.
