SAILGP STRENGTHENS PARTNER ROSTER

SailGP has expanded its partnership with global hospitality group Accor.

Building on its global partnership with Quentin Delapierre’s France SailGP Team, Accor now becomes an official supplier to SailGP and will ‘support SailGP’s clean energy transition.’

Accor, which has committed to contribute to global net zero emissions by 2050, has described its ‘sustainable ambitions’ as a key driver behind the Season 4 partnership.

With Accor’s extended support, EODev – an organisation that develops and industrialises sustainable, reliable and affordable hydrogen-based energy solutions – will work with SailGP to strengthen its clean energy roadmap.

EODev will supply green hydrogen at selected SailGP events during Season 4, beginning with the France Sail Grand Prix in Saint-Tropez on 9^th to 10^th September, while ‘educating fans on the importance of transitioning to clean energy solutions.’

Accor Global SVP Experiences, Events & Partnerships, Stuart Wareman said, “We are very excited to further support SailGP and its commitment to be powered by nature. This extended partnership also enables us to reinforce our commitment to researching alternative clean energy sources and finding practical applications for them.” 

SailGP Managing Director Andrew Thompson, added, “SailGP’s ambition is to be the world’s most purpose-driven and sustainable global sport and entertainment platform, and it’s only by aligning with purpose-driven partners who share our vision for a better future that we’ll be able to realize this goal. That’s why we’re incredibly excited to expand our partnership with Accor on a global scale that will help drive us towards our ambitious clean energy targets.”
