Ben Goodale: Sports marketing expert on why INEOS tried to greenwash the All Blacks
New Zealand Rugby has launched legal action against INEOS - believing the petrochemical company has breached its sponsorship deal. London's Telegraph reports INEOS failed to pay the first instalment of 2025 to New Zealand Rugby - at the halfway point of a six year deal to sponsor the Teams in Black, including the All Blacks. A statement released by NZR says they view the non-payment as INEOS exiting the six-year agreement early and have "no option" but to launch legal proceedings. The deal is worth eight million dollars a year to NZR - leaving a big financial shortfall to fill at short notice. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
