Zero will sponsor The World’s Greenest Football Club, Forest Green Rovers as they bid for National League Promotion
We are proud to announce Zero will be the official shirt sleeve sponsor for Forest Green Rovers’ National League play-off game next week as they bid for promotion to League 2 next season.
Forest Green Rovers, the world's greenest football club, have consistently demonstrated their commitment to sustainability, earning recognition as the world's first vegan football club and recently announcing a partnership with Reloop, a fully circular, fibre-to-fibre recycling system that ensures football shirts don’t become waste at the end of their life but are remanufactured into new products.
A word from Zero CEO, Richard Theo:
“We're so proud to support Forest Green Rovers and share their commitment to protecting the planet. Through our Community Share Option Scheme, we're giving 20% of Zero's future value back to our customers, and we’re delighted to invite FGR fans to join us on that journey, proving that money can be part of the climate solution”
A word from FGR CEO, Dane Vince:
“Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do here at FGR, so it is crucial that we work with brands that align with our ambitions as a club and will be part of our journey. Money is an integral part of everyday life and yet there are few sustainable and ethical options; our Partnership with Zero offers fans an insight into a more sustainable solution, to raise awareness and help fight climate change. This marks just the first step of our Partnership with Zero, with new creative and innovative plans for next season and beyond.
