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!

You can’t greenwash your dirty deeds away through sports sponsorship. Communities expect genuine efforts to help address climate change, which means finding renewable energy alternatives, not more gas exploration. Stop being dishonest and fix your activities first. Own up to what you are really about or make a change for the good away from fossil fuels.
Are not enot in enough of a crisis? Woodside only exacerbates the problems we are facing on this planet and to allow them to buy advertising through the sponsorships of teams is deplorable. Any team with a sense of ethics and responsibility will say no to Woodside.
Clean energy is an absolute MUST to solve the climate crisis which is upon us. Companies such as Woodside sponsoring elite sports clubs such as the Fremantle Dockers is unethical, disrespectful, and insulting to sports fans and the Australian community. Man up Fremantle and Woodside and DO THE RIGHT THING ✅️
Doing the old Tobacco Industry trick eh?
Please consider the vast damage that your fossil based fuel projects are doing now to the world that your children and grandchildren have to live in. Not everything is about money but you need to realize that returns from these projects will eventually need to be forcibly confiscated to repair the damage done!
It just shouldn’t go ahead
I’m sure there are less environmentally harmful sponsors around.
play fair woodside, you’ve hogged the ball long enough, give someone else a turn.
Think of our grandkids and their kids
Sport and pollution do not go well together. Get your act together or watch us all fry!!!
