Woodside is among Australia’s largest polluting gas companies. Its plans to build the Scarborough Gas Project and Pluto extension would generate emissions over its lifetime equal to ten years of running all of the country’s coal-fired power stations combined!
No matter where it is burnt, the gas Woodside digs up is fuelling climate damage and destroying Australia’s precious places like the Great Barrier and Ningaloo Reefs, compromising the wishes of Traditional Owners and putting people’s health at risk.
How do they get away with it? Woodside, and other big polluters, are sponsoring and exploiting our favourite sports to buy a positive reputation.
When Woodside plasters its logo across the purple hearts of Fremantle Dockers players, it’s paying for the connection and loyalty we feel for sports, and marketing themselves as a community-oriented brand – all so that Woodside can keep polluting.
We need to stop Woodside from using sports sponsorships to wash away their dirty image. That’s why, we're calling on people, no matter what footy jumper you wear or if you don’t support any team, to sign this petition:
Our teams are not for sale. We urge the Board of Fremantle FC to immediately end its sponsorship deal with Woodside Energy to protect the people, places, and game we love.
We will be delivering the voice of the community and your messages to the board of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club. Sign now and share!

Woodside can get in the bin!
I am signing because I had only known of Woodside because of the sponsorship on Fremantle guernseys. Growing up as a kid in Australia, I thought it was a big essential for all Australians lives. But as an adult, I’ve now learnt it is destroying our country.
I’ve only just found this petition, it’s probably a little late now. However, I’m a foundation member of the Dockers and have supported them through many years of living abroad and now living in Melbourne. Every year in the survey they send to members I write about the inappropriateness if Woodside as a club sponsor..
Woodside lobby the government to delay action on climate change. We can’t accept the support of a company that does this.
Very disappointing that the sponsorship was renewed.
Reconsidering my membership now. You really didn’t read the room with this sponsorship. The timing of the announcement proves that you thought this sponsorship would be unpopular with your fans.
Be better Freo, make a stand for our future.
Footy is a massive part of my life and I love Freo with everything I have, but I’m seriously disgusted by the Fremantle FC board’s lack of care towards the environment and First Nations culture and history. How dare they act against the wishes and values of thousands of their supporters who have made it very clear to Fremantle that Woodside needed to go.
Who is allowing this company to pillage our land and oceans and make squillions while doing it? It’s shameful.
Woodside are one of Australia’s biggest polluters and Burrup Hub’s planned extension to 2070 is outrageous. They are literally stealing my children’s future! Our future! Your future! Right now they are dredging and about to start seismic blasting in the middle of whale season. They don’t care about 40,000 year old Indigenous rock art or the desires of Traditional Owners, they don’t care about the whales swimming past their seismic blasting, they don’t care about the environment, or our planet. They don’t care about footy. All they care about is getting as much Fossil methane out of the ground as fast as they can to cash in on high prices from Putin’s miserable war. Woodside’s social license is extended by sports washing. Woodside needs you to but you don’t need Woodside. Give them the boot!
