At Green Games We're All on the Same Side
Sports fans, teams, athletes and facilities want a clean energy future: clean air, clean water, and clean power too. The mission to promote clean energy and reduce our collective carbon footprint takes precedence over all sporting goals and rivalries. To support this mission, Constellation works closely with sports properties and communities to be more efficient, innovative, and responsible energy users. We drive sustainability at premier events like Constellation Furyk & Friends and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and host Go Green Games with teams in Chicago, Houston and Philadelphia to celebrate each organization’s efforts to protect the environment.

Go Green Games
Constellation has been the official energy provider of the United Center, home to the Blackhawks and Bulls, since 2011.

Jim Furyk, 17-time PGA TOUR Champion, former U.S. Ryder Cup Captain and record holder of the lowest single round in PGA TOUR history, has served as a Constellation brand ambassador since 2013. His competitiveness, sound approach and detailed planning on the golf course, as well as his commitment to community off the course, align with our corporate values. In 2021, Constellation expanded on our long-time relationship by supporting the inaugural Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS, a new event on the PGA TOUR Champions.
The tournament is held at Timuquana Country Club in Jacksonville, Florida every October with proceeds benefitting the Jim & Tabitha Furyk Foundation. Jim and Tabitha Furyk originally launched the Foundation as a way to give back to the greater Jacksonville community that they have called home for more than two decades. Constellation made a direct donation of $500,000 to the Foundation in 2021 as part of the inaugural Constellation FURYK & FRIENDS tournament. Proceeds from the tournament support sustainability and STEM education through organizations including Habitat for Humanity, Blessings in a Backpack and First Tee.

Constellation is the Preferred Energy Choice of the Wells Fargo Center and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Wells Fargo Center: Powered by 100% Renewable Energy
Constellation has been the official energy provider of Wells Fargo Center, home of the Philadelphia Flyers, since 2016. Since 2018, the South Philadelphia arena has been powered by 100 percent renewable wind energy, which greatly reduces the facility’s carbon footprint. The power and renewable energy certificates (RECs) purchased from Constellation help Comcast Spectacor, owner of Wells Fargo Center and the Flyers, prevent the emission of more than 14,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas (GHG) annually and deliver an environmental benefit equivalent to removing almost 4,000 passenger vehicles from the road.
Go Green Games
Each season, we team up with the Flyers to educate fans about energy efficiency and sustainability through public service announcements, social media messages and an annual Go Green Game.
