The Gloucestershire-based club have been recognised by Fifa and the United Nations as the world's most environmentally friendly team. It went fully vegan in 2015 and became the world's first carbon-neutral sports club in 2017. The club Chairman, Dale Vince, is described as a "green energy" industrialist. A former New Age traveller, he is the owner of the electricity company Ecotricity. Interestingly, Bellerin, is also a shareholder in Forest Green Rovers.
Supporting the club's green agenda, he said: "Forest Green are showing others the way. So many people feel there's no solution to the world's problems, but Forest Green are already doing plenty. I'm so excited to be part of the FGR family. I'll be helping where I can, supporting people who want to change the world for the better. The 25-year-old is known for being a socially conscious footballer and recently raised money to plant 60,000 trees in the Amazon rainforest. His new role with FGR will see him work with chairman Dale Vince and the club on raising the environmental agenda in football - among clubs, leagues and fans.
