The Internationaux de Strasbourg has undertaken a "global" approach, taking into account all the organizational functions of the event in order to reduce its carbon footprint. We work with a continuous improvement approach year after year to strengthen our status as the 1st eco-friendly event in France.

The objective is also to raise awareness among all the public (partners, service providers, players, spectators) and to support social actions.
