Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will sport green jerseys when it takes on Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Sunday.
The green jerseys, made from recycled fabric, are part of the franchise’s broader sustainability initiatives, aiming to raise awareness about conservation and the need to protect the environment.
RCB is a carbon-neutral T20 franchise and has activated this initiative at the home stadium for fan engagement throughout the season, with the ambition of becoming carbon-positive.
Speaking on the initiative, Rajesh Menon, COO, of Royal Challengers Bengaluru, said: “For us, it is about being bold, both on and off the pitch. Our green jerseys are more than just a symbol; they are a call to action.
“As proud representatives of the Garden City, sustainability is a natural priority for us. Through this initiative, we aim to leverage the cultural and social power of RCB to drive awareness and inspire fans to take small steps towards conservation.”
RCB’s sustainability endeavours are rooted in data with the team carrying out regular carbon audits to closely track its ecological impact across all operations.
