Uniting for a Greener Tomorrow: Rot-Weiss Essen and the City Portal Unveil a Joint Sustainability Plan
Rot-Weiss Essen, the beloved football club of the city, has announced a comprehensive sustainability strategy in collaboration with the city portal. The strategy, unveiled on September 17, 2025, aims for an environmentally conscious and future-oriented development, considering both ecological and social contents.
The strategy is a commitment to future generations, as emphasized by Alexander Rang, RWE board member. It encompasses various measures to reduce energy consumption, minimize waste, and promote sustainable mobility.
One of the key initiatives is the digitalization of the stadium newspaper "Kurze Fuffzehn," reducing paper consumption. Fans can now access the digital newspaper at any time and anywhere. Furthermore, deposit cups have been introduced for beverage dispensing in the stadium to reduce plastic waste.
Vegan food options, such as sausages and meatballs, have been added to the stadium's offerings, catering to a wider audience and promoting a more sustainable diet.
Educational and awareness-raising measures are also a central part of the strategy. Various workshops and information events will be offered to sensitize fans, children, and young people about the importance of sustainability.
Rot-Weiss Essen continues to support social projects that strengthen disadvantaged groups, particularly in the northern part of Essen. The club's dedication to social responsibility is evident in these efforts.
Innovative concepts are being developed with the city to promote sustainable mobility for fans and citizens. The head of the city of Essen, Peter Renzel, who holds the function of City Director and Social Department Head within the city administration, is spearheading these initiatives.
RWE and the city portal aim to take a pioneering role in demonstrating that economic success and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. The board of Rot-Weiss Essen and Mayor Thomas Kufen emphasize the importance of climate protection, resource conservation, and social responsibility.
While the specific milestones achieved by Rot-Weiss Essen in the last season that paved the way for this strategy are not provided, it is clear that the club has already made significant strides towards sustainability. The new strategy is a testament to Rot-Weiss Essen's commitment to a greener and more responsible future.
