NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (MSG Entertainment) announced today that Earth Brands, the eco-conscious startup dedicated to combating single-use plastic products, has been named an Official Partner of Madison Square Garden.

Earth Brands products, including Earth Cups and Earth Lids, will be used at all concession stands and hospitality spaces during all events at The Garden – both sporting events and live entertainment.

"Partnering with Earth Brands is a major step forward in our commitment to sustainability," said David Hopkinson, President and Chief Operating Officer of MSG Sports, who oversees brand partnerships across MSG Entertainment. "Through this partnership, we will, together, replace millions of single-use plastics across hundreds of events each year, while ensuring that fans continue to have a world-class experience at The Garden."

"Partnering with MSG represents a key milestone in our company's brief history," said Peter Frelinghuysen, Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of Earth Brands. "The partnership underscores The Garden's commitment to sustainability, and, as born-and-raised New Yorkers – and big Knicks and Rangers fans – this one feels extra special for us."

As part of the partnership, Earth Brands will be featured in-arena during events, and across select New York Knicks and New York Rangers games telecast on MSG Networks.

Earth Brands was founded in 2021 with the mission of making sustainability cool and universal for next-generation consumers and businesses.
