VILLAGE GREEN
Creating a more sustainable future - our ESG & Sustainability Strategy.
Village Green was established in 2019 and set out to create a 'community hub' where guests, gym members and our teams could come together to support the things that are important to them. Through fundraising events, community projects and charitable initiatives our aim was to have a positive impact on the communities we operate in - and that is still a key part of our mission. Over time Village Green has evolved to reflect our broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) commitments. Today it represents a robust framework that demonstrates our priorities and plans when it comes to ESG and sustainability. We know that a more sustainable future is within reach and we want to play our part in getting there!
