ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
UNDERPINS H2O RACING CORE VALUES
H2O Racing’s strong stance and conviction toward its Corporate Social Responsibility is underpinned by its actions and commitment to investing in high quality carbon reduction projects to make events carbon neutral and the belief that the right to water is an inalienable individual and collective right.
“As individuals we all have a responsibility to react and contribute to the growing and ever-present concerns and issues facing the global environment,” he said. “H2O Racing has a greater responsibility to its stakeholders, to the countries and people where it is involved and to support them in respect of their environment.”

“Embrace the opportunity – take the initiative – we are stronger together and can achieve more collectively”
H2O Racing’s carbon neutral strategy is very much in line with the strong direction on environmental responsibilities taken and implemented by the sport’s world governing body, the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), alongside its close working relationship with the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). “The Union Internationale Motonautique governs all Powerboating disciplines and acknowledges that every activity conducted on water can make a difference in the fight against climate change. We are fully committed to promoting environmentally friendly practices which we hope will help to contribute towards solving some of the environmental challenges of today, particularly those involving the unsustainable use of energy resources. We do encourage more of these efforts favouring the protection of the environment which result in a reduction of the environmental footprint in all types of motorboating activities.”
UIM President: Dr. Raffaele Chiulli
TARGET
To evaluate every CO2 footprint for all H2ORacing’s partners, stakeholders, local organisers, teams, competitors, sub- contractors and individuals and on a voluntary basis offer the opportunity to offset and become a ‘UIM Carbon Neutral Player’.
