Royal Challengers Bengaluru are proudly sporting their iconic green jerseys during the IPL 2026 match against the Delhi Capitals at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. This initiative is part of RCB’s sustainability campaign, which has been a prominent tradition since 2011. The green jersey represents the franchise’s commitment to sustainability, with the kit being made from recycled materials. RCB is known as the only carbon-neutral T20 team globally and is striving to become carbon positive.
The green jersey is not just a symbolic gesture but is linked to a comprehensive carbon measurement system, accountability, and fan engagement. RCB CEO Rajesh Menon emphasized the importance of achieving carbon-neutral status and hopes that this initiative inspires fans and stakeholders to adopt sustainable practices.
RCB is conducting stadium-wide surveys to measure the environmental impact on matchdays, focusing on fan travel patterns and carbon emissions. Fans are encouraged to use public transport, and waste segregation and energy consumption are being closely monitored. The franchise is committed to assessing emissions related to team travel, accommodation, and energy consumption.
The green jersey symbolizes RCB’s dedication to sustainability beyond just a visual identity. It represents a campaign rooted in recycled materials, environmental tracking, operational accountability, and fan participation. The match between RCB and DC saw the latter winning the toss and choosing to bowl.
