Seattle Seahawks and Delta Air Lines partner on continued sustainability efforts

NFL team Seattle Seahawks has extended its partnership with Delta Air Lines to continue its sustainability efforts.

Delta Air Lines, the official airline partner of the Seahwaks, has offset carbon emissions from the miles the Seahawks travelled during the 2017 season by purchasing 1,080 carbon credits from Cedar Grove Composting.

The sustainability efforts at CenturyLink Field have included a donation of 600 lbs. of food to FareStart, Food Lifeline and Salvation Army after each home game.

Tony Gonchar, Delta’s vice president – Seattle said: “Being a good steward of the environment in the communities we serve is a core value of Delta’s and is especially important to our Pacific Northwest customers.

“We are proud to deliver on this commitment through our carbon offsets program and to bring our commitment to sustainability together with our great partners at the Seahawks.”
