Ian Poulter Teeing Off on Climate Protection
Bielefeld (ots)
With his striking and remarkable appearance, the 35-year-old Englishman is one of the world's most professional golfers. He is extremely successful. In the final of the Volvo Match Play Championship in Spain last weekend, "Poults", as he is called, finished in first place. As of immediately, the pro golfer and Schüco, the leading provider of Green Technology and Clean Energy from Solar and Windows around the building envelope, are joining forces. Both golf and Schüco feature a perfect harmony between nature and technology. And high aspirations in terms of precision, perfection, professionalism, and sustainability. To focus even more attention on these qualities, a team of world-class golfers tees off around the globe on climate protection, led by world's number three golfer, Martin Kaymer.
Sustainable contribution to climate protection
Ian Poulter had this to say about the new partnership: "Schüco is a company that follows up its words with deeds. Its innovative technologies are unique and I am fully convinced that they are making a sustainable contribution to global climate protection. I'm very happy to be part of the team." Poulter, who has won eleven European Tour tournaments to date, celebrated his greatest triumphs in 2010, when he won the WGC World Match Play Championship and was a member of Europe?s victorious Ryder Cup team.
Dirk U. Hindrichs, the President and CEO of Schüco International KG, is happy about the partnership with the British top golfer: "Ian Poulter is a very charismatic personality in international golf - a successful golfer who surprises people with his unusual ideas away from the greens. He is an ideal brand ambassador for us and will contribute to raising awareness of the Schüco brand and our climate protection goals. We?re very pleased about the cooperation"?
