Water Revolution Foundation Launched the YETI 1.0

At last month’s METSTRADE, non-profit organisation Water Revolution Foundation announced the launch of the first version of the highly anticipated Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI) 1.0. Aimed at revolutionising and reducing the environmental impact of the superyacht industry as a whole, the first version of YETI is expected to transform the way in which superyachts are recognised to be green.

Created by a team of experts, the YETI 1.0 works by collecting the operational data of each vessel to compare it to similar yachts in the same size category; thus assessing its environmental impact. The YETI 1.0 tool is pioneering the way towards a truly sustainable future of yachting: guiding all industry professionals to lead to the endpoint of reaching a reduced ecological footprint across the board.
