Aspiration’s Planet Protection to aid the Red
Sox in Expanding their “Greening” Efforts
The Boston Red Sox, one of the best-loved sports franchises in
the world, and Aspiration, the global leader in sustainability as a
service, today announced that they have created a historic
partnership to neutralize the greenhouse gas emissions of Red Sox
fans attending games at Fenway Park in Boston, MA, through
Aspiration’s Sustainable Impact Services and Planet Protection
feature. Aspiration will serve as the official sustainability
provider for the team in a deal that will mark the Red Sox as a
climate leader in Major League Baseball.
The Red Sox will embed an Aspiration Planet Protection
contribution in every ticket purchase for Fenway Park to easily
integrate climate action into the day-to-day fan experience. The
club will contribute a portion of the sale of each ticket to the
Aspiration Planet Protection Fund for the purchase of verified
carbon credits and to provide other sustainability services that
help counter fans’ individual climate impact as they root on their
team throughout the season.
“Finding sustainable and efficient ways to lower our carbon
footprint and help offset the environmental impact of a
110-year-old ballpark requires creativity, unique methods, and
deeply passionate partners like Aspiration,” said Red Sox Chairman
Tom Werner. “With this deal, a portion of the sale of every Red Sox
ticket will be contributed to the Aspiration Planet Protection Fund
which will help neutralize the climate impact of each fan attending
a game at Fenway Park. We are thrilled to be working with a company
that is fighting climate change by infusing that mission into every
aspect of their business.”
Built in 1912, the legendary Fenway Park is one of the oldest
baseball parks in the U.S. – and in recent years, has become a
model for what the green future of the sport can look like. The
partnership with Aspiration builds on an initiative that began in
2007, when the Red Sox undertook a five-year greening plan for
Fenway Park through work with the Natural Resources Defense
Council, including the installation of solar panels and the
implementation of the ballpark’s Green Team, a first-of-its-kind
recycling initiative. Today’s announcement signals the Red Sox’s
ongoing commitment to climate-conscious endeavors and sets a new
standard for offsetting the carbon footprint of its fans.
“The home of the Green Monster is becoming the home to ‘green’
progress and ‘Dirty Water’ is giving way to a cleaner planet,” said
Andrei Cherny, CEO and Co-Founder of Aspiration. “We’re honored to
partner with the Red Sox in this effort to bring easy, automated
climate impact to every fan that walks into Fenway Park and are
excited to set a new standard for climate accountability in
sports.”
Every verified carbon credit project that Aspiration supports
with Planet Protection goes through a rigorous verification
process. Issued credits are certified by carbon standards including
the Verified Carbon Standard, Gold Standard, American Carbon
Registry, and Climate Action Reserve, and verified by an
independent auditor.
Aspiration recently entered into a merger agreement with
InterPrivate III Financial Partners Inc. (NYSE: IPVF), a
publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company, which, upon
closing, will result in Aspiration becoming a listed company as a
Public Benefit Corporation, building on Aspiration’s existing
commitments to generate social and public good and operate in a
responsible and sustainable manner.
CAA Sports orchestrated the agreement between Aspiration and the
Boston Red Sox.
