Climate warning

Partnering with a dirty oil company in the name of 'sports spirit' is not sportive at all!

First FIFA, now ICC. What’s wrong with these sports councils? The International Cricket Council has now decided to extend its partnership with Aramco, the dirtiest oil company in the world! Aramco claims that the partnership, “expands its mission to deliver affordable, reliable and more sustainable energy to customers around the world.” The idea of making deals with a fossil-fuel-generating giant and claiming to provide sustainable energy is clearly preposterous! Not to mention a similar agreement between FIFA and Aramco. During a time when the world needs a serious and urgent transition into clean energy, such a tie-up does not bode well for the planet. Masked under the ‘sports spirit’, ICC and the oil company are trying to hide the real harm such deals are causing the planet. The ICC and Aramco partnership extension deal:

    Promoting 'sustainable energy' while partnering with one of the world's dirtiest oil companies is hypocrisy at its worst.

      The ICC's extended partnership with Aramco reflects poorly on their commitment to sustainability amidst global climate concerns. Collaborating with a major fossil fuel entity contradicts efforts towards clean energy transitions, raising ethical and environmental questions about prioritizing profit over planet. Are they serious?

        How can ICC sign a deal with a company that is working so hard to make cricket impossible to play in the future? I just don't get it.

          @Markus_Lutteman ICC's deal with Aramco, a major fossil fuel entity, contradicts cricket's future amidst climate crisis concerns. Ethical and environmental implications are profound. They ought to have considered the environment first.

            In a world where sports activities are becoming more climate conscious, the International Cricket Council has got it wrong.

              @boniface_kuria In a climate-conscious era for sports, the ICC's alliance with Aramco sends the wrong message about sustainability and environmental responsibility.

              Supporting sports activities with money from oil is unacceptable and this should be stop!

                Indeed they should feel ashamed for partnering with dirty oil company. They should reconsider partnering with companies that have good plans for our environment and our future.

                  This is very shameful indeed, Hope the International Cricket Council will intervene to ensure sustainability in the sports industry.

                    Such funds should not be used to fund sports and International Cricket Council should stop their engagements with Aramco!

                      Absolutely shameful of them. You got my "agree". Let's hope this post will reach a high "agree" count.

                          @gorffly_mokua Invited about 7 friends, they seem too busy with their individual life to care about such "stupid matters" like the pollution they breathe and the microplastic they ingest 🙃

                          Financing sports activities with oil money is devastating, International Cricket Council must stop this from happening. We need sanity to enhance sustainability in the sports industry.
