The project was recognised in the ‘BREEAM ES Urban Planning’ category at the organisation’s Annual Assessors’ Meeting
Celta has received an award at the 3rd Edition of the BREEAM ES Awards, earning the highest recognition in the BREEAM ES Urban Planning category for the development of its new infrastructure complex, Celta360. The award was presented as part of the organisation’s annual meeting of assessors and ESG certification specialists. María Luisa Guerra, Celta’s industrial engineer responsible for facilities, attended on behalf of the club to collect this distinction, which recognises the club’s commitment to sustainable urban development and construction excellence.
A unique and sustainable urban planning model
The Celta360 project proposes a sports city model with a comprehensive and distinctive approach to sustainable urban planning. This recognition follows the milestone achieved in September 2025, when Celta announced that the Celta360 project had obtained BREEAM Urban Planning certification, becoming the first football club in the world to receive this specific technical certification for urban development projects. Its key pillars include:
- Environmental sustainability and integration: Harmonious coexistence between nature, efficient water management and energy efficiency.
- Social impact and mobility: Promoting sustainable mobility and creating a space designed for the community and high-performance sport.
- Flexibility and a phased approach: Using the BREEAM methodology as a strategic framework for making sound decisions at every stage of development.
Leadership and teamwork
The jury recognised Celta’s strategic vision and leadership in integrating the highest environmental standards from the initial design phase. This achievement was made possible through the joint efforts of the project’s strategic partners, including CBRE, Turner & Townsend and Urbanplan.
With this recognition, Celta strengthens its position as a leading club nationally and internationally in sustainability (ESG), championing state-of-the-art infrastructure that generates a positive, lasting impact on its surroundings.
