Our sustainability commitments at Wimbledon
As the Official Water of The Championships, Wimbledon since 2008, evian is committed to working together to progress and innovate towards a more sustainable future.
Refill, reuse and recycle with evian at Wimbledon 2024
As The Official Water of The Championships for over 15 years, evian and Wimbledon are committed partners in a joint sustainability journey, working together to continuously progress and innovate towards a more sustainable future.
This year, we are immensely proud to continue to promote the practice of refilling and reusing at The Championships with evian. Expanding on the successful pilot of the 2023 player refill solution, for the first time ever, spectators can stay hydrated with unlimited evian natural mineral water, through a new refillable system. Spectators will have the ability to purchase and enjoy chilled evian natural mineral water refills, with an option to purchase an exclusive Wimbledon evian reusable bottle.
Sustainability at Wimbledon 2023
Last year, we piloted our first refillable water system on court, which provided evian natural mineral water to players whilst encouraging refill and reuse behaviour. The evian refill system for Wimbledon provided players with their own refillable bottle, that they could refill with evian natural mineral water at dispensers on court and at larger 18.9L ones around players areas. We will be continuing to use this system in the 2024 Championships.
Sustainability at Wimbledon 2022
In 2022, we launched our first-ever recycling reward scheme within the grounds and around Wimbledon town centre with Reward4Waste, in a bid to support recycling at The Championships, Wimbledon.
As part of the scheme, unique QR codes could be found on recycling bins across the Grounds and in the Wimbledon town centre. By scanning the QR code and then their evian packaging, attendees were entered into a draw, giving them the chance to win two finals tickets Wimbledon in 2023.
Sustainability at Wimbledon 2021
Following the successful 2019 pilot of circularity as a solution to plastic waste within the grounds of Wimbledon; we looked beyond the gates of the tournament itself, recognising the challenge of recycling on-the-go.
In partnership with sustainability agency Hubbub, and Merton’s leading environmental charity Sustainable Merton, evian installed new bright and bold recycling bins around Merton to make on-the-go recycling easy for local residents and spectators alike.
This resulted in a 53% increase in recycling rates in Wimbledon town centre and village.
Our other sustainability promises
Sustainability is an integral part of our relationship with nature.
