With over 55 years experience in yacht manufacture we recognise the importance of environmental sustainability throughout the lifecycle of our product.
We aim to create a unique product while minimising its environmental impact and striving for continual improvement of the environmental management system.
Princess Yachts will:
- Commit to identify, comply and where possible exceed compliance obligations that are appropriate to its activities
- Prevent pollution to the environment by ensuring relevant considerations have been given in planning of operations, development and testing of the product
- Ensure emergency procedures relating to environmental release are in place and tested
- Ensure employees and those operating on our behalf are provided with relevant information and guidance to prevent pollution
- Consider design solutions, on-board equipment and operational procedures which contribute to an environmental performance beyond identified compliance obligations
- Effectively monitor and managed carbon emissions against the organisations activities in order to set targets and reduce impact
- Improve the management of waste through effective application of the principles of the 'Waste Hierarchy'
- Promote environmental awareness via inductions, briefs and training
- Ensure environmental related complaints are resolved to the benefit of all stakeholders
- Maintain a programme of continual environmental improvement through setting and reviewing objectives and appropriate action programmes

In 2010 we became the first major European boat-builder to be awarded ISO14001 in recognition of our achievements in reducing our environmental impact. We are also breaking new ground in large scale resin infusion technology, a closed moulded process which almost completely eliminates styrene emissions in the workplace and local environment.

As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment we have officially partnered with the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) supporting the charity to protect and sustain marine environments for future generations. We work closely with the MCS on a series of initiatives to help safeguard both UK waters and specific projects across the world, raising money for essential conservation work and driving awareness amongst Princess customers on the importance of protecting the oceans.
