Brentford 2026 sustainability survey results | OneFootball

Bees fans continue to rate environmental action at the club of high importance, according to the findings of Brentford’s 2026 sustainability survey.

Fans’ rating of the effectiveness of Brentford’s sustainability initiatives has reached a record high and 74 per cent of supporters say they are interested in taking action that reduces the club’s environmental footprint.

Every year, fans are asked for their thoughts on sustainability at Brentford. The survey helps us understand if our work is being recognised and identify areas for improvement that are a priority for supporters.

1,588 fans responded to the 2026 survey. Key findings include:

For the first time, we asked fans how important they thought sustainability was to other supporters. While findings show that, when asked about their own views, Brentford supporters rate its importance at 8.2 (out of 10), supporters believe that other Bees fans only rate its importance at 7.0.

Fans reported that improved matchday infrastructure would help them make more sustainable choices to support the club’s work. Nearly half of fans showed willingness to rideshare with other supporters and 36 per cent would cycle to games to reduce the environmental impact of their matchday travel.

The survey continues to show that fans want to stay informed about the club’s sustainable activity. More than 1,100 fans said they want to hear more from the club on sustainability, and 850 fans expressed an interest in joining the Sustaina-Bees, an independent group for Brentford fans with knowledge and concern for the environmental crisis.

Proud of our progress, proud of our supporters

On the 2026 survey results, James Beale, head of sustainability and community, said: "Our findings are broadly consistent with last year’s survey and with what fans have told us throughout the year, that sustainability is still important to supporters. We’ve made a lot of progress, and I’m very proud to see that Bees fans continue to be engaged and willing to take action.

"Making the switch to wild venison this season proved that small adjustments can make a significant impact on our carbon footprint without taking away from the matchday experience. I hope we see similar results as we continue to ramp up our recycling provision and plan more Bike to Brentford matchdays in the new season.

"The results should signal that more Brentford fans than you might realise would be happy to talk about sustainability. Having these conversations before, during and after the game is important for keeping our momentum going, bringing more people into the discussion, and ensuring that we’re all working together to protect the future of the club and our community."
