Vermont Green Football Club and Seventh Generation announced a partnership for the 2024 season. The Burlington-based organizations will join forces, continuing established work to transform the world into a healthy, sustainable, and equitable place.
Founded in 1988 in Burlington, Vermont, Seventh Generation is a pioneer in the green household products space. They produce laundry detergent, dish detergent and household cleaners that are made with plant-based, renewable ingredients and are safer for you and the planet. As a mission-driven company, Seventh Generation believes that business can be a positive force in the world. Through its advocacy work, Seventh Generation supports the fight for climate justice and a fossil free future that’s healthier and more equitable for all.
”We’re thrilled to be partnering with Vermont Green Football Club – an organization in our own backyard that shares our values and commitment to environmental and social justice,” said Alison Whritenour, CEO of Seventh Generation. “It’s incredible to see how Vermont Green Football Club is using its influence to grow the conversation about climate justice and create impact with its fanbase and in our community.”
Vermont Green FC is embarking on an ambitious mission to embed environmental justice into its competitive strategy, operational processes, and culture. The club believes soccer can be a powerful catalyst for a more environmentally sustainable and socially just world. Like Seventh Generation, Vermont Green FC is committed to building a club that prioritizes people and the environment in all of its products and practices.
“Partnering with Seventh Generation is an exciting opportunity for our club and will be an important part of growing our mission and community in 2024.” said Sam Glickman, Vermont Green FC co-founder. “A large part of our story in our first two seasons has been collaborating with local businesses that share our vision, and working together towards shared goals. Seventh Generation is one of the leading global businesses prioritizing environmental justice from right here in Burlington, and we’re as honored as we are eager to welcome them to the club.”
The iconic Seventh Generation leaf logo will feature on the right sleeve of the 2024 Vermont Green FC home jersey.
