Sustainability
At MUWFC, we recognise the significance of the climate emergency facing our planet. As such, we pledge to embed environmental sustainability into the ongoing management of our club. We recognise that we all have a part to play in ensuring the protection of our environment for the benefit of all current and future generations.
We aim to reduce our contribution to climate change and to actively protect and conserve our natural environment. We intend to collaborate with the University of Melbourne & City of Melbourne to ensure our facilities are energy efficient, and we reduce water consumption and minimise waste.
MUWFC is committed to advocating for environmental issues and investing in the environmental education of the club and its community through the deliverables of our Environmental Sustainability Plan.
