Banana Skin Muffins & Vegan Victoria Sponge Highlight Wimbledon’s Sustainability Efforts for 2024

Wimbledon is focusing on sustainability by offering plant-based and zero-waste treats to guests at this year's tournament. The All England Club is serving a vegan version of the traditional Victoria sponge cake, replacing butter and cream with plant-based alternatives like Flora and coconut cream. This move is part of their effort to reduce carbon emissions associated with dairy products, with the new plant-based recipe having half the emissions of the dairy-based one.

In addition, Wimbledon is serving zero-waste banana muffins made from banana skins in the players' restaurant. These muffins are made using the banana skins that would typically be discarded, demonstrating the tournament's commitment to minimizing waste and environmental impact. Overall, Wimbledon is ramping up its sustainability efforts in various ways, aiming to achieve net-zero emissions and contribute to biodiversity gain by 2030.
