About sr26
Welcome to the iconic 100 Club!
Founded by 30-year industry veteran Will Oulton, Sustainability Rocks is a vital sanctuary for a community under pressure. Tonight, we are "fighting back" against sustainability cynicism by stepping away from the spreadsheets, connecting through the universal language of music, and having fun.
Tonight’s competition brings together four powerhouse bands from across the financial services sector to battle for the prestigious Sustainability Rocks Trophy. Every pound raised and every shirt bought directly supports impact-driven non-profits led by our headline partner, the Marine Conservation Society.
