Nature is at the heart of what we do -the race-track we compete on and the wind that powers our boats – but it is deteriorating fast.
We’re harnessing the ambition of the Race to be a force for change and drive the protection and restoration of our seas. We want an ocean that is healthy and full of life. This ultimately benefits nature and us all.
We aim to drastically reduce our plastic footprint and commit to collecting separately, measuring,
reporting and balancing any unavoidable single-use plastic through investing in social plastic offsets.
This guide has been produced to share our knowledge and learnings on how to reduce single use plastic at sporting events (well – at all events!)
We hope it inspires you to take action to turn the tide on plastic at your event.
