sustainability

sustainability & eco-conscious cruising

At Von der Heyden Yachting, we believe that adopting eco-conscious practice is a shared responsibility across all industries, including yachting. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact through meaningful, forward-thinking initiatives that protect the ocean we navigate.  

eco-friendly products

As part of our sustainability journey, we equip our owned vessels with environmentally friendly products for guests to enjoy and ensure all onboard cleaning is done using low-impact, eco-certified detergents. 

carbon footprint offsetting 

We offer our charter guests the opportunity to offset the carbon footprint of their journey through our partnership with Yacht Carbon Offset, a specialist service that calculates emissions and invest in certified carbon reduction projects. In 2022 alone, we offset two-thirds of our total emissions (126 MTCO2e) by supporting the Soubré Hydroelectric Power project in Côte d’Ivoire. 

eco-conscious cruising

Eco-conscious cruising begins with operating yachts at their most fuel-efficient speeds, significantly reducing fuel consumption and emissions. By optimising cruising speeds and engine performance, we minimise environmental impact while ensuring a smooth and enjoyable journey.  This responsible approach not only conserves resources but also supports our commitment to more sustainable yachting practices. 

From eco-conscious operations to responsible cruising, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future in the yachting industry.
