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 at the Annual General Meeting of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club on 6 December. Sign now and share!

Please stop these corporations destroying our planet for future generations
Accept the hypocrisy of what you are doing – climate change will harm young people most and make sport unpleasant and unhealthy.
The more we can do to keep our planet clean – the better
Freo Dockers — as fans, we’d like you to take a principled stand against receiving Woodside financing, as the Diamonds did for different reasons against Hancock Prospecting.
Please show leadership on fossil fuel divestment.
I am sick of big corporations thinking they can market their way out of environmental responsibilities.
The Dockers & AFL are a huge force for change. PLEASE stand strong and say NO to Woodside as a sponsor. Woodside are desecrating indigenous art and archeological heritage that belongs to Indigenous people and every human on the planet. WOODSIDE is already causing serious damage and social fracturing in Indigenous communities. WOODSIDE has bribed one group of traditional owners at Murujuga (on Burrup Peninsula, WA) to surrender control over the world’s largest site of over a million ancient rock engravings (petroglyphs) dating back 40,000years. This is worse than RIO TINTO exploding Jungan Gogre Cave! Dont let them get away with it! PLEEASE – FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND US ALL – Dump Woodside.
Please reconsider your decision to have Woodside as your sponsor. Nature and environmental protection must be paramount for our future generations.
Please stop using DIRTY Companies as SPORT Sponsors.
Time to start kicking some environmental goals, please give Woodside the boot as a sponsor!
I don’t even watch sports but I really dislike huge corporate companies brainwashing the ignorant and children through sports.
As a 20 year member I have been concerned by this for a long time. Fremantle (the place) has a strong sustainability focus. Please honour this.
Please don’t destroy our planet. You won’t have any customers on a dead planet.
Just move to green energy and stop resisting change.
