November 3 – Premier League Southampton has named Ecowatt as the club’s Official Training Kit Partner for the remainder of the 2022/2023 season.
Ecowatt buys and builds renewable power stations to expand the supply as well as funding projects that are key drivers in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Southampton has set a target of being carbon neutral by 2030.
Sarah Batters, Director of Partnerships and Marketing for Southampton Football Club said: “We are proud to be partnering with Ecowatt, an organisation which understands the issues around climate change and is making it easy, fast, and convenient for anyone to contribute to climate action in whatever way they can.
Ecowatt will be on the Men’s First Team, B Team and Women’s First Team training kits, and will be worn for the first time at the Men’s First Team game against Newcastle United.
Saints and Ecowatt said they will work on a joint project to help the club reduce its overall carbon emissions.
Thomas Puskas, Founder & CEO of Ecowatt said: “We believe that innovative investment will save the world. We are thrilled to work with this club which has such a genuine and meaningful commitment towards becoming more sustainable and we’re looking forward to accelerating the change with them.”
With FIFA currently getting hammered worldwide for their ‘greenwashing’ approach to the global climate challenge and the Qatar 2022 World Cup, once again it is a club that is taking a leading role on issues that are important to fans.
Lauren Haworth, Global Marketing Director of Ecowatt said: “This partnership gets to the heart of what real branding is really about, authentic collaborations between brands that share similar values. We are so excited to work with Southampton, and together we can make a real tangible difference through more sustainability initiatives that benefit the club, the fans and the planet.”
