Hockey is one of Germany’s most successful team sports and a sport with growing global significance. As the global sustainability partner of the German Hockey Federation (DHB), Wilo supports the continued development of the sport and promotes sustainable initiatives both on and off the field.
The partnership reflects shared values: team spirit, international collaboration, and long-term thinking. Together, Wilo and the DHB are committed to strengthening hockey sustainably and increasing its global visibility. At the same time, the cooperation combines sporting success with social responsibility and an international perspective.
Global Sustainability Partner
With the signing of a multi-year cooperation agreement, Wilo has become the official global sustainability partner of the German Hockey Federation. The partnership was formalized during the groundbreaking ceremony for the National Hockey Training Center in Mönchengladbach.
At the heart of the partnership is the promotion of sustainable development in hockey. Wilo supports the DHB in implementing international sustainability projects and contributes its expertise as a global water technology provider.
This collaboration demonstrates how sports organizations and businesses can take responsibility together for long-term progress in sport as well as for societal development.
Visibility in International Elite Sport
The partnership between Wilo and the German Hockey Federation is also visible in international competitions. The Wilo logo will appear on the apparel of the German national hockey teams, including both the men’s and women’s A squads as well as the Special Hockey Team. Wilo will accompany the teams in national and international competitions and support their presence on the global hockey stage.
Hockey connects people across continents. For Wilo, as a globally operating company, this partnership provides a platform to strengthen international networks while promoting German elite sport.
Sustainable Projects in Hockey
Wilo supports the DHB in further expanding sustainable structures in hockey, for example through projects that combine environmental responsibility, social engagement, and long-term development.
This partnership aligns with Wilo’s corporate strategy: developing innovative solutions for global challenges and actively promoting sustainable action.
International Collaboration
Hockey is one of the most popular sports in many regions of the world, particularly in India. This international dimension also plays a key role in the partnership between Wilo and the DHB.
A shared focus is on promoting hockey in India. Planned initiatives include professional exchange programs, training collaborations, and joint efforts to develop youth hockey. In this way, the partners create impact beyond the playing field and contribute their expertise to regions with strong development potential.
Youth Development in Hockey
Sustainable success in sport begins with nurturing young talent. That is why Wilo and the German Hockey Federation are jointly committed to advancing youth hockey.
Through training programs, international exchange formats, and joint initiatives, young players are to be supported at an early stage. The goal is to strengthen hockey in the long term and create new opportunities for future generations.
