It鈥檚 a great partnership to be part of.鈥�

Leeds Rhinos鈥� Operations Director, Sue Ward, added: 鈥淥ur commitment to sustainability is integral to who we are as a club. Partnering with Ecotricity allows us to further this mission, creating a model for how sports teams can champion environmental stewardship while engaging with their fans.鈥�
