Blackpool Seals Net Zero Partner

Blackpool FC has announced net zero pathway consultancy Equity Energies as an official club sponsor for the upcoming 2024/25 season.

As part of the new sponsorship, the club’s training ground will be renamed The Equity Energies Training Centre, whilst the EFL League One football club’s first-team training kit will adorn the Equity Energies logo.

The two organisations will continue collaborating to ensure the club reaches net zero. Previously, Equity Energies has helped Blackpool install LED lighting and deploy an energy metering tool throughout Bloomfield Road.

Martin Booker, Commercial Manager at Blackpool FC, said, “We are delighted to continue our long-term partnership. The Equity Energies brand will take pride of place on our training wear and training ground in readiness for the first-team squad’s return at the end of the month.

“The continued commitment of the team at Equity Energies is helping the club, and other organisations across the UK, to become more sustainable and to deliver daily progress in reaching net zero. We look forward to taking even greater steps forward together in the coming months and years.”

Toby Costar, Marketing Director at Equity Energies, added, “While we’re delighted to see our new brand feature in the upcoming season, our relationship with Blackpool FC is about more than a simple sponsorship.

“We’ve already made great strides together through practical steps like LED installation and the use of MY ZeERO, both of which have delivered cost savings and carbon reductions for the club. Those savings mean more money can go back into the club, its facilities, and the playing squad. This is the kind of positive, tangible impact on the journey towards net zero we always set out to achieve.

“Reaching net zero, and going beyond this, is a vital goal for organisations across the UK and around the world. Blackpool FC’s leadership in this area is laudable, and we’re committed to advancing on that journey together.”
