Environmental Sustainability Journey

our sustainability journey

At Wests Illawarra, we believe that being a great community club also means being a responsible one. Sustainability is not a single initiative or a finished goal – it’s an ongoing journey that guides how we operate, invest and serve our community, today and into the future.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact, supporting local people and businesses, and operating in a way that ensures Wests Illawarra remains strong for generations to come.

our commitment

We are committed to building a more sustainable future through practical, measurable actions across our operations. This commitment is driven by our responsibility to our members, our staff, our community and the environment we all share.

  • Reduce waste and energy consumption
