Planet Super League is a new idea in sustainability. Our mission is to use the power of football to engage fans in action on the environment. We plan to launch a global competition, where fan groups play to win points by going green. Supporters declare their allegiance to their chosen club and the points they win are collected over the season, with the winning team lifting the trophy in a star-studded televised event at the end of year. Football has the ability to break down barriers, talk to billions of people and mobilise their enormous fan bases (some bigger than countries!). Twinned with the competitive nature of sport, it’s an unbelievable chance to make a positive change to our planet.

When 5T was founded in 2008, two strong market forces were emerging – global financial recession and escalating climate change risks to sports operations.

Sensing the need for the industry to adapt for the future, 5T began building their practice around 3 key pillars:  Sustainability, Technology and Community. The sports properties and partners who use their resources responsibly, deploy technology for efficiencies and strengthen their connection to their communities will weather the downcycle, but set themselves on course for long-term businesssustainability.

As a sports organization, sports brand, host city or partner, they work to make their client stronger. Because at the end of the day, we’re fans, too. And we want the game to go on forever.

Paddle for the Planet aims to raise awareness and financial support for marine conservation specifically in “Marine Protected Areas” and “no take zones”.
