The Swire Shipping Fijian Drua have welcomed a new member to their sponsorship vuvale after announcing a new two-year deal partnership with TotalEnergies Marketing Fiji.
The agreement was signed at the TotalEnergies head office in Suva today and sees the leading energy company, becoming the Fijian Drua’s official energy partner.
While delivering his speech, Drua CEO Mark Evans says they welcome the partnership as they get ready to embark on just their third season in the Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific competition.
Evans says TotalEnergies’ support of rugby and sports in Fiji and globally has been quite evident, including at the recent Rugby World Cup which they sponsored.
He says it is wonderful for the Drua to have another global brand on board as a partner and the club is thankful for the company's generous support, which of course includes the Swire Shipping Fijian Drua Men and the Rooster Chicken Fijian Drua Women.
He adds that this is a fantastic show of confidence in the Drua to have new partners like TotalEnergies join in on this journey.
Evans says they are buoyed by TotalEnergies goal of introducing renewable energy options at its service stations around Fiji.
He says they will work with their new partner to actively reduce carbon footprint and together with their motor vehicle fleet partner, Palas, they will look to move into the Electric Vehicle space as infrastructure allows.
Managing Director of TotalEnergies Marketing Fiji Dennis Michael Cuaycong, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership and says they are thrilled about this collaboration.
He says this partnership is poised to bring positive impacts, both on and off the field and they are eager to power the team's journey to success and contribute to the vibrant energy of Fijian rugby.
Meanwhile, the Drua will take on the Blues in their first Super Rugby Pacific game on the 24th this month in Auckland.
