Sustainability
The Yachting Industry’s environmental initiatives
The Yachting Industry is making significant strides toward environmental sustainability through various initiatives. One key effort includes protecting Posidonia seagrass by restricting anchorage, which is crucial for maintaining marine ecosystems. There is also a growing focus on producing sailing yachts that harness the natural power of the wind, reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Many actors in the yachting sector are also actively involved in non-profit initiatives aimed at fostering positive change. Notable organizations include the Water Revolution Foundation, which promotes sustainable practices, the Monaco Smart Yacht Awards, recognizing eco-friendly innovations, and the International Seakeepers Society, dedicated to ocean conservation. Together, these efforts reflect a commitment to protecting our oceans and promoting a greener future in yachting.
Neo Yachting is taking action!
Encouraging collective actions
As an active member of professional associations such as the IYBA, ECPY, GYA and CYBA, we are actively engaged in fostering dialogue and action surrounding sustainability within the industry. Our dedication extends beyond mere participation; we actively encourage these associations to address sustainability on their agendas.
Through collaborative efforts, we aim to build consensus and develop actionable strategies that promote environmentally responsible practices across the yachting industry. By giving voice to maritime associations, we facilitate open discussions, share best practices, and advocate for the integration of sustainability principles into every facet of our operations.
Informing about sustainable yacht refit
Yacht refit stands as one of the pivotal activities within our group, offering yacht owners a transformative opportunity to save energy, recycle materials, and modernize their existing vessels.
Through meticulous refitting processes, we aim to not only enhance the functionality and aesthetics of yachts but also to align them with modern sustainability standards. By implementing energy-efficient technologies, optimizing systems, and upgrading materials, we enable yacht owners to minimize their environmental footprint while maximizing their vessel’s performance.

We prioritize sustainable transportation options whenever possible, including using public transportation, carpooling, or trains. Additionally, we leverage technology to conduct virtual meetings and conferences, reducing the need for extensive travel.
In terms of office procurement, we are committed to sourcing environmentally friendly supplies and materials. This includes using recycled or biodegradable products, reducing single-use plastics, and implementing energy-efficient solutions wherever feasible.
