S2: Episode 7 - Wimbledon’s Climate Conundrum: Pollinators, Plastic, Players & Private Jets! 🎾🍓
Description
🎾 What does it take to make a world-famous tennis championship like Wimbledon more sustainable—without losing its legacy or strawberries and cream?
In this episode of Green Queens, we sit down with Hattie Park, Head of Sustainability at the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), to talk about what it really means to green a heritage institution from the inside out.
From eliminating single-use plastics and decarbonising kitchen operations, to partnering with Evian on refillable water bottles and turning used tennis balls into acoustic panels—Hattie shares how her team is weaving sustainability into every part of the Wimbledon experience.
💬 We also discuss:
🍓Building trust and influence in supply chains
🍓Using sport’s cultural power to nudge behaviour
🍓Working with players (and their private jets)
🍓Achieving net zero goals without losing the magic of the game
🍓How planting for pollinators and changing bin lids can both drive impact
