Empowering Sustainable Yachting
In today’s world, sustainability is no longer just an option, it’s a necessity to be ready for tomorrow’s new regulations. The yachting industry, with its direct connection to the marine environment, holds a significant responsibility to protect the waters it sails upon. At ETYC, we are dedicated to empower yacht crews with the knowledge and tools needed to minimize their environmental footprint.
We developed a comprehensive training program which is designed to teach the crew identify all sources of impact of the yacht operations. From waste management, energy and water consumption to responsible sourcing and sustainable cleaning techniques. We believe that, by educating crews, we are laying the foundation for more sustainable practices. Where every crew member plays a role in protecting our oceans.
But education is just a beginning. To truly make a difference, consistent implementation and monitoring are essential. That’s why ETYC also offers a robust audit system that monitors the application of sustainable practices on board.
ETYC’s Environmental Management System
We understand, the key to protect our oceans lies not only in training but also in providing the right tools to ensure that sustainable practices are effectively implemented and maintained. That’s why we’ve developed an Environmental Management System (EMS), a powerful tool designed to help yacht crews monitor their environmental impact and take proactive steps toward reducing it.
After completing our training, crews are able to connect to our digital platform, access to a connected EMS dedicated to the crew of the boat. For instance, it serves as both as a guide and a monitoring tool. It enables crews to track their yacht’s environmental performance. The EMS identifies areas where improvements can be made and ensuring that the best practices are consistently followed.
With the digital platform, crews can monitor key metrics based on their actions. The system provides instant feedback and actionable insights, allowing crews to make informed decisions that minimise environmental harm. The EMS is not just about monitoring—it’s about taking action. The system includes solutions made to the specific needs of the yacht. It offers guidance on how to implement changes that lead to real, measurable results. It fosters a culture of continuous improvement, where sustainability becomes a core aspect of daily operations rather than an afterthought.
We believe in a future where the yachting industry depends on the ability to innovate, adapt and show case. Our Environmental Management System is just one of the ways we’re helping the industry move in the right direction!
