Tottenham Hotspur recognised at Schneider Electric’s Sustainability Impact Awards
Schneider Electric has announced that Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has been recognised as a European winner in its annual Sustainability Impact Awards.
Port of Dover and Platinum Electrical Engineering for its work with Brilliant Planet have also been announced as UK winners.
The awards are designed to recognise organisations that are making a positive impact on sustainability, showing leadership and innovation as the world looks to reduce its carbon emissions.
Tottenham Hotspur Football Club is on a journey to operate and maintain the most technologically advanced stadium in the world whilst supporting its journey to
Net Zero. The club is driving innovation and technology initiatives to ensure the stadium operations are as energy efficient as possible, using only 100% renewable energy to power all electrical equipment on site. Its award-winning stadium is regarded as a global benchmark for design and innovation and the club has been named as the Premier League’s greenest club for four successive years.
In September 2021, the stadium was home to the world’s first Net Zero football match, #GameZero, raising awareness of the impact of major sporting events on our climate amongst millions of footballs fans around the world.
Kelly Becker, President UK&I at Schneider Electric, said: “Each of our Impact Award winners is leading the way to sustainability. They went above and beyond in terms of our judging criteria when it comes to innovation, inspiration and leadership. The focus of our next edition of these awards remains on decarbonisation efforts to electrify, reduce, and replace, and we’re looking forward to learning about those projects in due course.”
