Wimbledon is not only known for its prestigious tennis matches but also for its commitment to environmental sustainability. The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), which organizes Wimbledon, has been actively working towards reducing its ecological footprint since 2009. The club’s sustainability efforts are evident in its adoption of renewable energy sources and its ambitious targets to combat Climate change.
In alignment with the UN’s Sports for Climate Action Framework, which Wimbledon joined in 2018, the AELTC aims to halve greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century. This plan extends not only to the Championships but also to the club’s broader business practices, reflecting a comprehensive approach to environmental stewardship.
One of the key strategies in Wimbledon’s sustainability playbook is its significant investment in renewable energy. The club and the Championships are primarily powered by renewable electricity, partly generated on-site through solar panels. Plans are in place to increase on-site renewable energy production, phase out conventional power generators, and enhance the energy efficiency of buildings and appliances.
The AELTC is also transitioning towards eliminating the use of gas in its operations. By 2027, all gas appliances in the club’s kitchens are expected to be replaced, reinforcing Wimbledon’s commitment to sustainable practices. Additionally, the installation of high-efficiency LED lighting and the use of electric lawnmowers and horticultural equipment further decrease the club’s carbon emissions.
Transportation is another area where Wimbledon is making significant strides. With an estimated 500,000 attendees each year, reducing travel-related emissions is crucial. The club has set a goal to transition to a fully electric vehicle fleet by 2030 and continues to promote public and active transportation methods among attendees.
Wimbledon’s commitment to sustainability doesn’t stop at energy and transportation. The club has achieved zero-waste-to-landfill status in multiple years and actively promotes recycling and reusing materials. Unused food is distributed to charities, and in 2021, the introduction of reusable cups marked a significant step towards reducing single-use plastic waste.
Wimbledon’s proactive environmental initiatives not only position it as a leader in the sporting world but also demonstrate the potential for large events to operate sustainably. As climate challenges mount, Wimbledon’s ongoing efforts serve as a compelling example of how sports can influence positive environmental change.
