Y.CO Sustainability Policy
This sustainability policy defines how Y.CO is making environmental protection and social equity an integral part of our business model, while encouraging every vessel in our fleet to do the same. As a maritime company we consider the ocean our most important stakeholder, so we’ve signed the National Energy Transition Pact for the Principality of Monaco, and remain committed to cutting our own emissions in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal to reduce GHG emissions by 50% by 2030. We are prioritising social initiatives, supporting organisations aligned with our sustainability goals and finding enterprising new ways to empower the local communities in which we work.
A future of yachting with Greater Purpose, Lighter Footprints and Stronger Community.
To lead the way in creating a culture of environmental protection and social equity within our own network and the wider yachting industry, using our expertise and resources for positive global impact.
Y.CO takes an integrated, holistic approach to sustainability. We recognise that true change takes time, patience and commitment. But we also believe that without a targeted plan of action, change remains an idea, rather than a reality.
For Y.CO sustainability is about the future. Focusing the industry on supporting the communities and organisations that work to protect the ocean, the destinations and the people that make yachting what we know and love today.
Our sustainability strategy is defined by four key pillars, focusing our efforts to turn our goals and ambitions into meaningful activity.
Leadership is about translating vision into action. And empowering our team to do the same. We have set ambitious targets, disseminating our knowledge, training our people and encouraging our fleet to join us in reducing our combined footprint. Sustainability has become a targeted team and business strategy, while increasing client value through environmental and social initiatives.
We believe superyachts have a role beyond enjoyment. We believe they can be used as floating research vessels, platforms for scientific exploration, opportunities for social cohesion. Whether it’s using yachts to help research plastic pollution in our seas, assist in environmental disasters, bring aid to remote communities or simply bring people and crews together in inspiring, purposeful circumstances, we believe in the power of yachts to discover, assist and unify.
We believe in research and innovation to make our fleet cleaner, greener and resolutely future-facing, providing a benchmark for other yachting companies to do the same, while delivering greater financial value to our clients. We are supporting the fleet to improve its efficiency, reduce its waste and embrace the latest, cleanest technology.
At Y.CO we know the importance of diversity and equal opportunity within our own company, and the benefits it can create for yachting. We are investing in organisations that support our yachting communities. When it comes to sustainability in yachting, we believe every employee, every client, every supplier, every crew, every community, has a crucial role to play and should be supported in this role.
Real change takes time, patience, and dedication. Because of this, we place accountability at the forefront to ensure our contribution leads to real results.
We believe progress is achieved through a holistic approach, using research and innovation to develop sustainability practices across our teams, fleet, and yachts. Incremental changes produce effective results, so our collaborative approach ensures the vision we hold is achieved.
We support diverse initiatives, benefitting the places and communities that yachting relies on. By using our expertise and resources for positive global impact, we can say with confidence that our actions are driving real change. Building a green future for yachting.
