The Sport and Recreation Alliance has announced a new partnership with sustainability experts Zellar.
Utilising its brand-new digital sustainability platform that provides everything a sports organisation needs to plan, activate, measure, report and share its sustainability journey, Zellar makes it easy for organisations to make a start and take on climate action.
Following Zellar’s sustainability plan can help the average club reduce its energy consumption by up to 33% and unlock estimated savings of up to £4,100.
As part of this new partnership, we are delighted to share that Alliance members are able to take advantage of an opportunity to grab free access to a Zellar license, for the next 12 months – usually priced at £299.
This offer expires on August 12 and there are a limited number available on a first come, first served basis.
You simply need to head to the sign-up page - https://app.zellar.com/signup - and enter your business details and then click ‘I have a discount code’ - then enter SRA50 to make the licence free for the first year.
Zellar’s sustainability platform helps organisations to calculate and understand their carbon emissions and then build an achievable plan to reduce them, based on their size and sector. Every completed action on your Zellar plan is rewarded with points. These go towards an overall Zellar score that organisations can share so that the outside world can see their progress.
By helping organisations to minimise their energy, waste and water usage; identify and invest in green technology and find biodiversity and volunteering projects, each unique Zellar plan has the power to reduce emissions, costs and environment impact.
Commenting on the partnership, Lisa Wainwright MBE, CEO of the Sport and Recreation Alliance said: “We are delighted to confirm our partnership with Zellar. Our commitment to ensuring the sector becomes more sustainable is outlined in our strategy, and so we’re thrilled to be able to provide our members with an opportunity to accelerate their own sustainability journeys.”
Founder of Zellar, Gary Styles added: “Britain’s sports and recreational clubs have huge influence over their communities. We believe they have a unique opportunity to lead the way in tackling sustainability, and to become a powerful agent for change by inspiring their members to follow their lead.
“We’re really excited to be partnering with the Sport and Recreation Alliance. By making Zellar accessible and affordable, and by inspiring clubs of all shapes and sizes the length and breadth of the UK to get involved, we can make a real impact.”
Over 70 sports clubs, have already joined Zellar’s rapidly growing community of over 1,000 UK organisations. Together, they’ve been inspired to make 230 operational changes and 350 energy checks that will deliver crucial energy and cost savings. As well as investing over £500,000 in energy saving green technologies, such as solar panels and electric vehicle charging units.
