How are Wolves acting on sustainability?
Sustainability in football remains a growing area, but it is one where Wolves want to be "leading the way".In February 2023, the club launched their One Pack, One Planet sustainability programme - a project with four commitments in carbon, waste, nature and culture."The programme is embedded across the club," Wolves sustainability lead Thom Rawson told BBC Sport. "It's within every single department so everyone understands what their role is in delivering against those overarching sustainability ambitions."There has always been good sustainability activities at the club, but the opportunity was there with creating an overriding identity for the sustainability programme, which is what One Pack, One Planet is."Bringing all those activities together creates this common way of thinking about it and a common way of communicating about it with fans so that we can tell a holistic story of how the club is acting on it."Tuesday, 22 April marks Earth Day - a day in the international calendar that provides the opportunity to reflect on progress and understand future opportunities to be more sustainable.Earlier in 2025, two years after the project's launch, Wolves released a progress report, external. Among the highlights of the past 12 months were the reduction in carbon emissions from energy and fuel by 71%, launching a free bus travel scheme for season ticket-holders and the introduction of reusable cups at Molineux.In January, the club also hosted their dedicated One Pack, One Planet focus fixtures for the men's and women's teams, providing an opportunity to introduce a new matchday recycling initiative and raise awareness of the programme and its sustainability work."Fundamentally, the club recognises that it has a responsibility, in terms of its platform, its importance within the local community and within the city of Wolverhampton," Rawson said. "That is the kind of platform that can have an impact nationally, and globally as well."It is the feeling of responsibility combined with wanting to lead and evolving best practice to be seen across the the football industry and to be positioned as a club that is leading and being proactive to do things in the right way."Come back later on Tuesday to find out more about Wolves' sustainability drive

Rayan Ait-Nouri explains key to Man City move and excitement over Wolves reunion
Rayan Ait-Nouri swapped Wolves for Manchester City in a £36million transfer after speaking to the club's former winger Riyad Mahrez about what to expect under Pep Guardiola's management Rayan Ait-Nouri has revealed former Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez helped convince him to join Pep Guardiola's side. Ait-Nouri, 24, signed for City from Wolves in a deal worth up to £36million, his arrival solving a long-standing problem at left-back for the recently-deposed champions. Mahrez spent five years at City, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League, before leaving to join Saudi side Al-Ahli in 2023. Ait-Nouri and Mahrez are international team-mates for Algeria and City's newest recruit revealed the role his international captain Mahrez played in helping him make the move. 'I speak with Riyad,' said Ait-Nouri. 'I'm with him in the national team. He told me about the city of Manchester and he told me to give everything for this club. 'It's the biggest club in the world and I will try to follow him. In the beginning it was my choice to come to Manchester City, because I told my family 'I want to play for this team'. I like how they develop the team, how they play, and I'm very happy to be here, it's a pleasure for me.

Every player I played against previously at City, when I played against them it was always very hard, because we know the quality of the players is incredible. For sure, I want to learn with them in the training and in the games.' Ait-Nouri has linked up with former Wolves team-mate Matheus Nunes, who made the same move from Molineux to the Etihad Stadium two years ago. The pair were close friends at Wolves and Ait-Nouri said he is looking forward to lining up alongside the versatile Portugal international once again. 'I've spoken with him,' said Ait-Nouri. 'We were always together when we were at Wolves. I spoke a little bit with him and he told me about the city. We didn't speak about football, we spoke about the city and life in Manchester, and I'm very excited to join up with Matheus again.' HAVE YOUR SAY! Will Rayan Ait-Nouri be a hit at Manchester City? Comment below. Ait-Nouri is convinced he can take his game to another level under the guidance of Guardiola and by playing in a team full of world-class talents. "I'm young, I can improve a lot," said Ait-Nouri. "I need to learn, to improve my football, for sure. It's for this reason I chose this big challenge, because I know I can improve my football. With this team and this manager, I will improve, for sure." Asked what he hoped to achieve at City, Ait-Nouri said: "To win a lot of trophies and to give everything for the team, for the badge, to play with my team-mates and be happy with the coach and the staff."

Man City make major signing in summer rebuild
Manchester City has signed Rayan Ait-Nouri from Wolves for €37m (£31.6m) on a five-year deal, making him their first summer signing. Ait-Nouri, a left-back who often played as a wing-back for Wolves, is expected to debut at the Club World Cup. City is also reportedly close to signing Tijjani Reijnders from AC Milan for £46m, potentially bringing their 2025 spending to around £250m. Ait-Nouri stated that a major motivation for joining Man City was the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola, whom he considers the best coach in the world. Wolves are set to generate nearly £100m with Ait-Nouri's transfer and Matheus Cunha's expected £62.5m move to Manchester United.
