Addressing the gap in the club´s lack of a formal ESG strategy, this study investigates best practices from other football clubs and evaluates their adaptability to Puszcza Niepołomice ´s situation. The research uses a mixed-method approach, combining expert interviews analyzed by Atlas.ti, stakeholder surveys through Qualtrics, and secondary research. The findings identify low-effort strategies with high-impact results, such as renewable energy initiatives, tree planting programs, and matchday recycling competitions. These practices reflect the club´s identity and allow measurable sustainability solutions despite the club's limited resources. The analysis also addresses significant benefits of sustainability, including enhanced stakeholder engagement, fan loyalty, and sponsorship opportunities. By adopting these strategies and addressing these challenges, Puszcza Niepołomice can become a sustainability leader in Polish football, creating long-term growth, community engagement, and brand visibility. The thesis concludes with actionable recommendations to guide the club´s transition to a sustainable future.engEnvironmental sustainabilityBest practicesLow-cost initiativesEco-friendly practicesPlastic Waste Reductionmaster thesis203990013
