Leading Ecological Transformation
As the world’s leading environmental services company, Veolia understands sustainability. We are proud to partner with the PPA Tour, the premier platform for pickleball enthusiasts across North America.
Pickleball, a sport growing rapidly in popularity, embodies the spirit of sustainability and community engagement. Just like Veolia, the PPA Tour recognizes the importance of preserving our planet and promoting responsible practices, and the values of diversity, equity and inclusion. By joining forces, we aim to make a significant impact on the environment, contributing to a cleaner, greener future for all.
Through our partnership with the PPA Tour, Veolia aims to raise awareness about the importance of sustainability in sports and encourage other organizations to follow suit. We believe that by integrating sustainable practices into sports events, we can inspire positive change on a larger scale and create a lasting legacy for future generations.
Sustaining Communities Along the Way
As part of our sponsorship of the PPA Tour, we aim to leave each city we visit better than we found it. This commitment is not just about the sport, but also about the communities that host us.
In preparation for tournaments, we team up with local communities, pickleball professionals, and PPA staff to give back in meaningful ways. We organize clean-up drives to improve the local environment and foster community spirit. Their involvement not only enhances their connection with the community but also serves as an inspiration for others. Through our sponsorship of the PPA Tour, Veolia is fostering a culture of community engagement and environmental responsibility, making a positive difference in the communities we visit.
“The athletes who compete on the PPA Tour are driven to be champions, just as Veolia is driven to being the champion of ecological transformation, leading the way in solving the great environmental challenges of our time. Whether you are a champion athlete or an environmental innovator, achieving your goals requires great commitment, persistence and a firm belief in your purpose. Those are values we share with the PPA Tour, which is why we believe this partnership will be a smash!”
