Plymouth Albion is proud to announce Veolia as the club’s new Official Sustainability Partner, marking the beginning of a significant long-term relationship focused on waste management, resource efficiency and creating a more sustainable future at Brickfields.
This partnership goes far beyond traditional sponsorship. Veolia will work closely with Plymouth Albion to review and improve the way waste is managed across the stadium, helping the club reduce its environmental impact, improve waste segregation and build more sustainable practices into its day-to-day operations.
As Albion continues to raise its ambitions on the pitch, the partnership will ensure that the club’s progress off it is equally forward-thinking, responsible and built for the future.
Building a More Sustainable Brickfields
Through its expertise in resource management, Veolia will support the club in developing a clearer and more effective approach to waste across Brickfields.
This will include improving waste segregation, reviewing how materials are collected and managed and helping the club identify opportunities to reduce waste and make better use of its resources.
The partnership will also look beyond the operational side of the stadium, using Plymouth Albion’s platform to highlight the importance of sustainability and encourage positive change among supporters, partners and the wider local community.
By embedding more sustainable practices across the club, Plymouth Albion aims to ensure that growth at Brickfields is supported by a responsible long-term strategy.

Veolia brings exceptional knowledge and experience in resource management, and their support will help us improve waste segregation, reduce our environmental impact and introduce better practices across Brickfields.
This partnership is about more than branding. It is about working together to create positive, lasting change for the club, our supporters and the wider community.”
Matching Ambition On and Off the Pitch
Plymouth Albion’s partnership with Veolia represents an important step in the club’s continued development.
While the team works to achieve its ambitions on the pitch, the club is equally focused on improving its infrastructure, operations and long-term sustainability away from rugby.
By working alongside the UK’s leading environmental organisations, Albion will be able to make informed changes that benefit Brickfields today while helping protect its future.
Further details about the partnership, including new sustainability initiatives and community engagement opportunities, will be announced throughout the 2026/27 season.
