Following the announcement of a 15-year energy partnership between E.ON and Coventry City Council in 2023, Coventry Building Society Arena has entered into a sustainability partnership with E.ON to further its decarbonisation efforts.
This collaboration commits both organisations to working together to transform the city’s approach to carbon reduction and marks the next stage of a venue-wide sustainability action plan for Coventry Building Society Arena.
The arena will now work with the energy solutions provider to develop, enhance, and implement this plan over the next three years.
Paul Michael, managing director at Coventry Building Society Arena, said: “E.ON is headquartered in Coventry and already has a strategic partnership in place with Coventry City Council, so this was a natural fit when we were identifying a partner as it will enable us to contribute effectively to the city’s wider strategy.”
Michael added: “Our partnership with E.ON isn’t only about making our own venue as sustainable as possible, it’s about making a real difference in Coventry too and inspiring communities and other businesses to think critically about their use of energy.”
Vijay Tank, chief commercial officer at E.ON Energy Infrastructure Solutions UK, said: “Via our Strategic Energy Partnership with Coventry City Council, it will act as a cornerstone to the city-wide approach which is helping to give people and businesses more opportunities to shape a more sustainable future together.”
He added: “We’re also demonstrating in Coventry and across the whole country, that by taking on a key playmaker role and acting together to make new energy work, we can develop not just a more sustainable future, but also more job opportunities and growth for communities and whole cities.”
