Rio Open becomes a carbon neutral event certified by the UN
The biggest tennis tournament in South America and the only ATP in Brazil has become a carbon neutral event. In partnership with ENGIE, the biggest private energy company in the country, more than 400 tons of CO2 generated by the event in 2020 were compensated with carbon credits. The initiative is part of our sustainability platform, Rio Open Green, certified by the United Nations. The carbon credits were conceded to the Jirau Power Plant.
In 2022, we took it a step further by starting to offset emissions generated by audience transportation, which accounts for approximately 76% of the event’s total emissions. That year, we offset 1,144 tCO₂e.
In 2023, the number rose to 1,427 tCO₂e, and in 2024, we received the UN Carbon Neutral Event certification for the fourth consecutive year, offsetting 1,713 tCO₂e.
At our most recent edition in 2025, we surpassed 1,800 tCO₂e neutralized. Altogether, since 2020, Rio Open has offset 6,486 tCO₂e.
This journey reflects our commitment to a more sustainable future. We aim to improve year after year, inspiring action and driving meaningful change through sport.
Join us in this achievement. Experience the passion for tennis, united with a commitment to the planet.
