ENGIE, a leader in sustainable solutions and energy transition, joins as a new partner of Team Picnic PostNL. ENGIE’s visibility was recently showcased during the official Team Launch 2025 in Calpe, where the new look and feel was presented. The foundation of this collaboration is a shared vision on sustainability, innovation, and inclusivity.
As a global leader in sustainable energy and innovative technologies, ENGIE sees this partnership as an opportunity to further promote its mission internationally. CEO of ENGIE Netherlands, Harry Talen, emphasises the importance of the partnership: “We are proud to be part of Team Picnic PostNL. Together, we can further underline our ambition of achieving a CO2-neutral future. This partnership allows us to connect sustainability in an inspiring way with sport and innovation.”
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of this time and sustainability is an increasingly important topic for all big companies and sports organisations. As a cycling team, Team Picnic PostNL feels the responsibility to reduce their impact on the planet. To do so the team uses sustainable innovations, such as dsm-firmenich’s life’s®OMEGA, which is a sustainably cultivated and has zero impact on the marine ecosystem; use of Webex for virtual meetings and hybrid work rather than travelling; development of greener bike care products with Weldtite; fully circular and recycled mattresses from Auping at the Grand Tours; and fully electric Volvo coach cars in European races.
Additionally, the team’s headquarters is also equipped with solar panels and built with sustainable materials; and with this partnership ENGIE supplies the headquarters with 100 percent green electricity, which further emphasises the shared ambitions for a sustainable future.
For Team Picnic PostNL, the partnership with ENGIE marks a new step in their growing focus on social responsibility. Team Picnic PostNL CEO, Iwan Spekenbrink, says: “The partnership with ENGIE gives us the opportunity to further develop the vision we have with the team: combining performance with a positive impact on sustainability. ENGIE shares our ambition to create a sustainable future, as well as to promote technological advancement and innovation.”
