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 and reuse with evian at The Championships, Wimbledon 2025
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, evian is inspiring more than half a million guests at The Championships to embrace the refill and reuse movement by staying hydrated with evian natural mineral water refills throughout their day. For the first time, evian will be replacing the iconic 750ml bottle with one that is recycled*, recyclable and refillable. The new evian refill bottle with the accessible and convenient refill system aims to reduce plastic packaging waste by encouraging guests to refill and reuse.

Sustainability at Wimbledon 2023
in 2023, 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.
