ABOUT Kits for the World’s sustainability objectives
Back in 2010 the concept of Kits for the World was born. The concept of Kits for the World has grown with local grassroots clubs and some forward thinking professional clubs. They all could see the value of helping the projects we support with football kit donations.
Our objectives when we give a football kit donation to a project MUST fit within the sustainability development goals across the range of key objectives. These objectives range from the 17 interlinked global goals designed to be the foundation on which to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
Kits for the World also plays a part in the interlinked global goals. Firstly by one of our core objectives namely playing a part in the post-consumer garment collection, reuse, and recycling is a critical component of a circular economy plan.
Secondly as from 2022 we are actively looking to plant a kits for the world kit donation tree at the clubs who donate to kits for the world. This helps to offset our logistical impact.
We are also actively looking for international partners who are active in the regions where we send our donated kits to who plant trees.
Moving forward It is our intention that new NGO’s who are part of the kits for the world network incorporate an educational fact pack to raise awareness of the benefits of planting a tree locally.
