Dutch FA making the economic case for environmental sustainability in grassroots sport
©Sport Sustainability Journal
THE DUTCH FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION (KNVB) HAS PLEDGED to help the nation’s 3,000 grassroots sports clubs significantly lower their energy costs and environmental impact by brokering renewable energy deals and facilitating finance opportunities for energy-saving equipment.
As part of De Groene Club (The Green Club) project, the KNVB has partnered with utilities company Essent to offer amateur clubs energy advice, as well as favourable prices for the installation of solar panels, new boilers and insulation as a result of Essent’s ability to scale the initiative if several clubs get involved.
