What does sustainability
mean to us?
As a professional sports organisation, sustainability means ensuring that our activities have the lowest negative impact on the environment and the greatest positive impact on society. We are committed to operating in a responsible and sustainable way, and to preserving and protecting the world around us. We understand that our decisions today, impact our tomorrow.
Our Mission
Working with our partners, suppliers and stakeholders, Alex Thomson Racing has put in place a Sustainability Action Plan. This action plan (2018-2021) includes specific areas of focus, key performance indicators, defined roles and responsibilities, pinpointed engagement opportunities and education plans, and timelines for implementation.
Together, we will work hard to deliver on the following commitments:
- To minimise our operational impact on the environment and actively promote sustainable practices
- To continue the development of sustainable practices in the marine industry and use our unique platform to contribute to the study of ocean health
- To positively contribute to our community on a social and economic level, educating and influencing as many individuals and groups as possible.
In addition, we support and commit to contribute to the United Nations sustainable development goals and the World Sailing Sustainability plan (agenda 2030).
