The Evian refill water system has been announced as a first-ever solution that will be at Wimbledon this year to provide players with on-court refreshment. The system will see players wielding their very own reusable Evian-branded bottles that can be easily refilled with the brand's natural mineral water on-court and at designated areas for players. This includes dressing rooms, practice courts and restaurants to encourage them to quench their thirst in a decidedly more sustainable manner than with single-use alternatives.
Vice President, Marketing, Danone UK & Ireland Sarah Dossett spoke on the Evian refill water system saying, "We are incredibly proud of our long-standing relationship with one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events. Together through collaboration, we are excited to pilot this new system for 2023. The development of a refill solution to deliver our Evian water to players demonstrates Evian’s continued commitment to innovate. Together with Wimbledon, we are continuing our journey towards our circularity ambitions."
