FC Tokyo is promoting environmental initiatives as an important theme in club management to realize the club's social statement, "Goals connected to the future of our lives."

On February 5, 2026 (Thu), we announced the 'Sustainability Strategy.' Under this strategy, FC Tokyo will participate in the 'Sport Positive Leagues (SPL),' an international framework where professional sports organizations quantify their sustainability efforts and climate actions to aim for reducing environmental impact.

And now, as we move our sustainability strategy into concrete actions, we have established four environmental policies. FC Tokyo has organized the direction set forth in the sustainability strategy into the following four policies, taking into account the framework of the SPL, and will work together with our hometown, Tokyo, to create a sustainable future.

What is Sport Positive Leagues (SPL)?

Sport Positive Leagues (SPL) is an international initiative that visualizes soccer clubs' efforts toward environmental sustainability through 12 key items, clearly showing progress and the direction to aim for. The J.League is the first in Asia to participate, and clubs' efforts are organized and evaluated from multiple perspectives such as energy, renewable energy, transportation, waste, procurement, and education.

100% Resource Circulation Policy　 CIRCULAR DESIGN POLICY
In our business activities, we prioritize waste reduction for the resources we use (raw materials, water, etc.) and the waste generated. Through promoting reuse and recycling, we aim to circulate the value of resources as much as possible. To achieve this, we collaborate with stakeholders such as fans, supporters, partners, local governments, communities, business partners, and waste disposal companies to realize a society with 100% resource circulation.

Nature Positive Policy
A match environment that enhances the health and safety of players, fans, supporters, and club staff, as well as the quality of the competition.
The background to FC Tokyo's ongoing activities in daily life includes clean air and water, the blessings of the four seasons, and the urban nature where living creatures thrive. To connect the lifestyle of our hometown Tokyo to the future, we aim for a city where people and nature coexist, and act based on the concept of nature positivity.

Water Cycle Guideline WATER STEWARDSHIP GUIDELINE
Drinking water that supports the health of players and fans/supporters, the grass on which players perform, and the infrastructure that supports daily life are all sustained by the water cycle. We collaborate to maintain a healthy water cycle* and enhance its resilience.
