SE Systems has extended its sponsorship of Cork Camogie for another three years.
In addition to sponsoring Cork's adult and minor county championships, which SE Systems has done since 2018, the energy company has also become the official sustainability partner of the Cork Camogie.
The firm will work on initiative such as energy upgrades of Cork Camogie's administrative and training headquarters.
The project will be delivered at no cost to the county board and will include a full energy audit, assistance with SEAI grant applications, and the installation of sustainable technologies such as solar photovoltaic panels and electric vehicle chargers.
Cork Camogie and SE Systems will also launch a solar fundraising initiative aimed at improving the energy efficiency of club facilities and create a sustainable revenue stream for grassroots development while advancing environmental objectives.
For every domestic solar installation that is completed and linked to a club, SE Systems will donate €500 to the local club and €500 to the Cork County Camogie Board.
“We are proud to continue our support of Cork Camogie, who play a vital role in the success of GAA and sport in Cork,"said John O'Leary, co-founder and chief executive of SE Systems.
"We believe that everywhere possible business should give something back to the communities that make them, so supporting Cork Camogie through our team’s expertise and financial contributions is something we passionately believe in.
“They have ambitious plans to become a national leader in climate action, so we’re delighted to be using our expertise in helping them achieve this goal.
"Through targeted investment and meaningful engagement, we can support both environmental progress and the long-term development of the game in Cork, something we are really looking forward to over the next few years.”
Padraig Treacy, chairperson of the Cork Camogie Board said SE Systems has "been an excellent partner for us and have already made a significant difference to Cork Camogie.”
“The planned upgrades to the Castle Road Pavilion and the launch of the solar fundraising scheme are major steps forward.
"Having a sustainability partner and availing of the SE Systems imitative not only benefits Cork Camogie and our clubs financially but also sets a powerful example for how sport can contribute to climate action."
