We are delighted to announce a pioneering partnership with Ecosia, the green search engine that plants and protects trees. This collaboration marks a significant step towards promoting climate action, reforestation, and environmental consciousness in the world of football.
Key highlights of the partnership include:
Reforestation Initiatives: Forest Green Rovers and Ecosia will work together to support reforestation projects, with a specific focus on tree planting in biodiversity hotspots. This collaboration aims to make a significant contribution to the fight against deforestation and regeneration of forests.
Sustainable Football Practices: Forest Green Rovers will continue to lead the way in adopting sustainable practices within the football industry. Ecosia's support will further bolster the club's efforts to maximise its positive environmental impact.
Promoting Eco-Friendly Choices: Through joint marketing and awareness campaigns, Forest Green Rovers and Ecosia will encourage fans, players, and the wider football community to make eco-friendly choices in their daily lives. This will include promoting the use of Ecosia as a sustainable search engine.
Innovative Eco-Projects: The partnership will also explore opportunities for innovative eco-projects within football stadiums, such as renewable energy initiatives, recycling programs, and sustainable food options for fans.
Marcus Reynolds, CEO of Forest Green Rovers, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying, “We’re really pleased to welcome Ecosia as a new partner of Forest Green Rovers. Ecosia’s tree planting initiative and commitment to reinvesting 100% of its profits towards climate action are outstanding examples of an organisation that genuinely wants to make a positive difference. This alignment in values makes the partnership a great fit.”
Sophie Dembinski, Head of Policy & Climate Action at Ecosia echoed this sentiment, stating, “The Forest Green Rovers are trailblazers in an industry that historically has not prioritised the planet and their commitment to climate action made this partnership a natural fit for Ecosia. With over 180 million trees planted in biodiversity hotspots across the world, we are looking forward to planting even more with FGR fans this season.”
The Forest Green Rovers and Ecosia partnership marks a significant milestone in the world of football and environmental conservation. Together, we aim to lead by example and inspire others to follow suit, demonstrating that football can be a powerful platform for positive change.
