The Impact of Your Actions:

The potential for Cardiff to drive positive change is enormous. Did you know:

  • If every fan at a packed Cardiff Arms Park cycles to work, it equates to taking 1,190 cars
    off the road!
  • If every fan at a packed Cardiff Arms Park recycles everything they can, it equates to
    taking 1,379 cars off the road!

These choices reduce emissions and create a ripple effect, inspiring friends, family, and communities to make more sustainable decisions.

Katie Cross, CEO of Pledgeball, said, “This launch has been a long time coming - we are so excited to partner with Cardiff Rugby and to see the Blue and Blacks take on Dragons RFC.

"I can’t wait to see the collective impact of Cardiff Rugby!”

COO at Cardiff Rugby, Jamie Muir, added: “At Cardiff Rugby, sustainability is a major focus, and we are committed to reducing our environmental impact, as well as inspiring our community to make a positive difference.

“Our continued collaboration with RSK, a global leader in sustainable solutions, exemplifies this commitment, as does the recent creation of a Safety and Sustainability Coordinator role within the company and this new partnership with Pledgeball.

“Teaming up with Pledgeball for our fixture against Dragons RFC gives us and our supporters the chance to show how powerful rugby can be in driving change. Let’s step up, make our pledges, and help protect the places we love.”
