Birmingham 2022 have joined forces with Severn Trent to help deliver the first ever carbon-neutral Commonwealth Games. Outlined in their newly published sustainability pledge, they have laid clear a series of commitments and the steps that they will take with the aim of achieving this milestone, as well as other operational workstreams that will help Birmingham 2022 become the most sustainable Commonwealth Games to date. A critical part of this commitment is the forming of a new partnership with Severn Trent. Becoming Birmingham 2022’s Official Nature & Carbon Neutral Supporter, Severn Trent will be responsible for delivering a series of initiatives that help offset the carbon generated by the Commonwealth Games and hopes to leave a positive social and environmental legacy of sustainability in the West Midlands. Liv Garfield, CEO of Severn Trent said: “We’re delighted to be partnering with the Commonwealth Games and to play a leading role in helping make Birmingham 2022 the most sustainable games ever. We’re passionate about making a positive impact on the communities and the environment where we live and operate, and to the lives of everyone that we serve.“
