    Strange they are leading with partnership…. And not sponsor. I reckon it is very much a performance related deal!

    Is this the major deal Mumford mentioned late last season which never got announced?

    Love the sound of this Sponsor. 

    I have been trying to live a little more sustainably since Covid and it is an increasingly important consideration for me and in my job.  I do wonder though how a sustainability company reconcile sponsorship on a yearly changeable piece of clothing..

    Whatever, if they can help and advise the club on becoming more sustainable and carbon neutral that will only improve our finances once taxonomy and carbon taxes start to bite in coming years.  It will also make us more investable as more and more investors look at a companies green credentials.  So all good.

    We were one of the leading clubs in "kick it out", I would love us to be one of the leaders in sustainability but am probably getting ahead of myself!

    Maybe the 5 yr contract is aligned to JJ's performance based contract...

    God I hope we don't end up with Shirts like they do in France, or the dogs dinner which are Rugby kits now. 


    I like balinese shirts

    I've heard the shirts will be edible.

    'RSK supports clients in multiple sectors including many of those most critical to future global sustainability such as water, energy, food and drink, infrastructure, urban development, mining and waste. With experts in over 150 different environmental and engineering disciplines, RSK prides itself on the ability to deliver end-to-end solutions to some of the great challenges of our time.'

    Some good news at last. That's a partnership to feel proud of as a Charlton fan.
    Cheers Jimmy. I'd never heard of them before, but then it's been a long time since we had sponsors like Woolwich, Fads and Mesh who were household names.

    Interesting that it only mentions home shirt sponsor. Presumably not paying big enough bucks for all the shirts

    Maximising revenue opportunities with multiple sponsors and it’s a partnership with them as a sponsor for next season’s home shirt.

    Sounds a very positive deal for all involved and Olly has already confirmed the colour of the sponsor on the shirt will not be an issue.

    Look forward to its release around what I would be anticipating to be in June.

    Sustainability is one of the biggest growth industries in the UK. If I had kids heading towards degrees and A Levels I would be encouraging them into this field.  It is the future and will see exponential growth as people realise all other industries are pointless without a planet capable of supporting life.

    I looked up some of their website, and one of the board members is called Nigel Board.
    There is a photograph of all the board members on their site and there is one especially interesting feature of the montage.
    It looks as if they get money by being paid to suggest things, like the care of soil on a construction site.
    Are they consultants?
    I was once told that a consultant will tell you 200 ways to have sex, but they wouldn’t have a partner themselves.

    I like this news RSk is a large and continuing to grow business and UK owned. As they are into sustainability perhaps we will keep the same shirts for 5 years instead of continually changing them every season. That way parents save money, and we help to reduce waste. Also the away and 3rd kit sponsors may still be @Swisdom company? Its good to have a settled sponsor for 5 years and the knowledge of guaranteed season income, which in turn will help TS plan going forward.
    All in all I think this is good for the club on many levels, it'll be interesting to see if TS gets 'knocked' for this on social media.

    I'm hoping it's a good deal, but as we don't know what the deal is (as one would expect), who knows?
    It could be worth £100K or more than £1M.

    Alan Ryder, founder and CEO of RSK, said: “Charlton are a brilliant football club, both on the pitch and in the community, so I am thrilled to see RSK entering this partnership with them. Over the next five years, we will work very closely with the club as they look to accelerate their sustainability journey. Together with the club, fans and other partners, I believe we can propel Charlton to a leading position in the sustainability league tables.


    Sadly, no mention of sustainability Europe which is what we are all wishing for.


    It's certainly good that we have bucked the betting company trend.  RSK seem to be an aggregation of environmental, engineering and technical companies, and their website has plenty of 'business speak' (end-to-end, bespoke solutions/lots of core processes and empowerment).  What's not to like?  And you can see why Sandgaard would be impressed.

    I struggle with the connection to a football Club, but hey ho!  From CEO Ryder's comments, it sounds like he is expecting Charlton to avail themselves of his organisation's services.

    Next season we might have an eco-off with Forest Green Rovers.

    Same number of chips just cooked in recycled diesel.

    Global company - God, I hope they haven't got an office in Moscow....

    People saying they can't see a link between RSK and CAFC aren't looking hard enough 

    "When completing work for Network Rail on the monitoring of level crossing safety, RSK recognised that existing survey methods were limited and of low quality. In response, our team designed and installed CCTV equipment and bespoke software that provided more comprehensive monitoring of level crossings. The project resulted in an improved risk assessment and surveying method and contributed to the overall safety of level crossings."
