📺 Polar Bear Club x Ecoaim — World Record Attempt

Why a renewable energy company sponsors a world record attempt

Two reasons.

First, cold-water resilience is a Scottish thing. The Polar Bear Club is exactly the kind of grassroots Scottish achievement we want to back — community-driven, hard-won, instantly recognisable as ours.

Second, our customers are real local people. Sustainability is most credible when it shows up in real local contexts, not glossy ad campaigns shot in California.

Who is Allana Baird?

Allana attempted (and broke) the world record for full-body contact with ice. The video documents the attempt.

Renewable energy and community sponsorship

Most renewable energy companies spend their marketing on Google ads. We spend a portion on community sponsorship because:

• Trust comes from being visible in your service area
• The renewable transition needs local stories, not abstract ESG language
• Customers in Livingston, Edinburgh, Glasgow remember the company that supported a local effort

How we choose sponsorships

We back people and projects that:

• Have a clear Scottish or Central Belt connection
• Demonstrate sustainability, resilience or community values
• Have an honest plan (not just a marketing angle)

If you run a community group or local project that aligns, get in touch.
