Boeing joins Kraken, Climate Pledge Arena in environmental efforts
The Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) has teamed up with the Seattle Kraken and Climate Pledge Arena to pursue environmental initiatives in the Pacific Northwest.
The newly minted National Hockey League team and the soon-to-open arena announced a partnership with the jet maker on Thursday to support efforts such as stormwater management to reduce pollution and improve regional water quality.
Amazon.com Inc. secured naming rights to the venue in June 2020, calling it Climate Pledge Arena after signing Global Optimism's Climate Pledge, which calls on signatories to meet net-zero carbon goals across their businesses by 2040. Boeing has previously committed to making its planes capable of flying on 100% sustainable aviation fuels made from sources like biomass and municipal waste.
Boeing did not disclose financial details of the initiative, but said it expands on the more than $10 million the company has contributed to environmental efforts and education in the last five years. The company will be represented throughout the arena, according to a news release.
