Initial Hygiene is the official hygiene partner of AO2021

The Australian Open has announced a new partnership with global brand Initial as the Official Hygiene Partner of AO2021.

“The health and safety of fans, officials, players and our AO workforce is our number one priority and to partner with a trusted brand in Initial will help ensure fans are protected and can play it safe while enjoying a day at the tennis,” Chief Revenue and Experiential Officer Ben Slack said.

“The hundreds of Initial touch-free hand sanitisers throughout the tournament precinct will be easily accessible to fans and will offer the best in hand hygiene protection.” The partnership sees the hygiene company support the safe staging of the Australian Open, the first grand-slam tournament of the year.

As such Rentokil Initial is both delighted and honoured to play a part in supporting the return of an event as significant and great as the Australian Open,” Managing Director, Pacific, Rentokil Initial Andrew Stone said.
