Sustainability Statement

Hampden Park, Scotland’s National Stadium, is a multi-purpose venue and the home of Scottish Football which welcomes hundreds of thousands of spectators and visitors each year.

Being at the heart of our national sport, delivering world class events and welcoming guests on a daily basis, comes with responsibility. We have a duty to our spectators, visitors and our local community to be an ambassador for the future. We understand the vital significance of sustainability and its implications for our community, the environment, and the next generation at Hampden Park. We are dedicated to lessening our environmental impact and promoting a sustainable culture as a top sports and entertainment destination.

OUR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

- We have been a member of Green Tourism since 2023

- We provide an accessible stadium and facilities that embrace our diverse spectators and visitors’ individual requirements

- We offer the majority of tickets in digital form, as well as, check-ins, and itineraries for all our events, significantly reducing paper waste.

- We partner with local suppliers to reduce our environmental impact and enhance local community support.

- We source sustainable seafood from  Marine Stewardship Council certified suppliers only.

We have created a Sustainability Strategy to put ambitious plans in place, not only to minimise our impact on the environment, but also to embed sustainability in everything we do, creating a positive legacy for future generations.   Although football and major events are our passion, we have a vision that Hampden will be the Stadium of choice as an internationally recognised venue with a conscience.  In support of Scotland’s world leading climate change targets, we will reduce carbon emissions from energy, waste and water, alongside improving our community impact.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY PLAN

- We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions by 50% (currently 2802 tonnes of CO2e) by 2026.

- We will switch to 100% reusable, recyclable, and compostable packaging by 2025.

- We will increase the number of plant-based meals and recipes to 33% by 2025.

- By 2025, we will reduce food waste by 50% through our WasteWatch powered by LeanPath programme.

THINGS OUR VISITORS CAN DO

- Embrace lower carbon means of travel such as public transportation, carpooling, walking, or cycling.

- Reuse! Bring your own reusable items such as water bottles and bags to events and games to minimise waste.

- Follow our waste disposal and recycling guidelines while visiting or attending events.

- Remember to give us helpful feedback on how we can continually improve our sustainability performance.

In line with the vision for Sustainable Glasgow we will contribute to making Glasgow “One of Europe’s most Sustainable Cities, and Hampden Park will be the most Sustainable Stadium in Scotland.
