World Sailing marks World Oceans Day by publishing first annual Sustainability Report

Released to mark the recent World Oceans Day and with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on the horizon, World Sailing has published its first annual Sustainability Report.

World Sailing is the leading international federation in terms of sustainability and sailing, and as a sport has made an impressive contribution to the progress achieved since the launch of its Sustainability Agenda 2030 in 2017.

Alexandra Rickham, World Sailing’s Director of Sustainability, said, “At World Sailing, we represent a global community of sailors who play their sport and often live their lives on the frontline of climate change. As such we have duty to lead the way in setting standards for sustainability.

“We are very pleased to publish the Sustainability Report and demonstrate the impact of our efforts and the work of others across the sport.

“The review has been three years in the making and charts our journey over this period set against our longer-term targets."

The major highlights of 2023 include a 67% saving in energy emissions at the World Sailing Championships by adopting HVO fuel, a 26% reduction in the carbon footprint of World Sailing staff attending the World Sailing Championships in The Hague.
