Leading the Charge in Sustainable Yacht Building

As the premier builder in the industry, Azimut|Benetti is making significant strides in sustainability, emphasizing the necessity for our industry to minimize its environmental footprint. Over the past 25 years, this dominant force in the superyacht world has consistently excelled in production and delivery within the 24 to 100-metre range. Their recent adoption of sustainability measures demonstrates a commitment that not only influences their vast fleet of more than 160 in-build units but also sets a benchmark for others to follow.

The firm's collaboration with the Superyacht Eco Association in Monaco to integrate the SEA Index® CO2 emissions tool marks a pivotal moment. This tool serves as an essential eco-design aid, enabling the enhancement of sustainability across their fleet through advanced naval architecture and cutting-edge technologies. Such initiatives are expected to foster data transparency and eco-consciousness across the industry.

Previously, Azimut|Benetti has also implemented the Carbon Emission Index for yachts under 24 metres, developed with Lloyd’s Register. This tool measures and rates the carbon footprint of this substantial segment of the yachting fleet. Additionally, the company’s commitment to the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI) further underscores their dedication to leveraging scientific tools for environmental assessments, particularly for larger yachts. By doing so, they pave the way for customized eco-assessment tools across various yacht categories.

Through these efforts, Azimut|Benetti's leadership in sustainability promises to inspire widespread adoption of these eco-friendly practices. As we measure and collate data across the market, the industry moves closer to setting tangible targets for reducing its environmental impact, reflecting a collective stride towards a more sustainable future.
