​Yachting's flagship event puts a S into sustainability—this year, luxury not being the solo key word—as the industry adapts to more sustainable initiatives and requirements from clients and stakeholders.

Organisers invited stakeholders to exclusive events on sustainability in yachting, right from the Monaco Yacht Show Opening Conference on Wednesday, September 25th. Focusing on pioneering sustainability in yachting, with concrete actions being taken to meet environmental challenges within the industry, Gaëlle Tallarida, Managing Director of the Monaco Yacht Show, opened the conference with superyacht expert and journalist Justin Ratcliffe.
presented an engaging program and distinguished speakers highlighted the importance of reducing the carbon footprint of older generation yachts (Jean-Marc Bolinger, CEO of MB92 Group); enhancing sustainability through eco-responsible onboard practices (Robert van Tol, Executive Director, Water Revolution Foundation); and how superyacht innovations benefit other markets (Giedo Loeff, Head of Research & Development, Feadship). The discussion moved on to the question of good practices on board to ensure a sustainable future for the industry.
