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!

I love the Freo Dockers, but their commitment to the Woodside sponsorship makes me doubt their authenticity around climate change. I hope the club steps up, responds to the community, and decides to give Woodside the Boot as a sponsor.
My whole family on my wifes side (all 5 sisters and both parents, partners and adult kids) are rabid Dockers supporters (Go Carlton!). Make it worth their while, ditch Woodside!
The northern hemisphere is burning, temperatures are rising world wide and we can’t afford to support fossil fuel companies any longer. Please don’t accept sponsorship from Woodside.
Stop allowing Woodside to “buy” your favour.
Take the stink and hypocrisy of Woodside, out of our local club please.
There’s no sport on a dead ply
Our ocean animals will soon disappear if we don’t protect their inviroment.
I cannot support my local team while it supports Woodside, and by association, its environmental pollution.
WA is the only state whose emissions are still rising and Woodside’s gas projects on the Burrup Hub would create 6 BILLION TONNES of further toxic pollution. With Europe on fire, the floods and bushfires that occurred in the Eastern States last year, how can the Dockers even contemplate keeping the logo of that evil, greedy, selfish corporation on their shirts?!
It is difficult to find sponsorship for sport and the Arts from any one other than fossil fuel and mining companies, but at some point we have to say NO.
Time to prioritise the climate. Love my team but not our sponsor
