Renewable energy company Masdar will become an official partner of Manchester City under an agreement that will see them collaborate in several activities, such as launching a global campaign on the importance of climate action and mitigating climate change.
The campaign will coincide with the Masdar-hosted Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW), a platform for accelerating sustainable development, which is scheduled to take place from 15–19 January 2022.
Masdar has a presence in almost 40 countries worldwide and plans to expand its global clean energy portfolio to more than 50 gigawatts by 2030.
Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar, said, “Manchester City Football Club is one of the biggest names in world football and Masdar is now one of the biggest players in clean energy, by working together across different activities and initiatives, we can play our part in delivering a sustainable future.”
Stephan Cieplik, Senior Vice President of Global Partnership Sales, said, “At Manchester City, we have a commitment to grow sustainably and responsibly, whilst recognizing that the Club can use its voice to encourage the communities we connect with to do more.”
“In recent years we have made significant progress within this area. We also know that a sustainable future can only be achieved by working together collaboratively with partners and fans and we’re delighted to welcome Masdar as an Official Partner today to join us on this journey.”
