OUR VISION
Adventure for Good: Creating positive impact through adventure, collaboration and innovation
OUR IMPACT
Impact is at the heart of our company values, underpinning our commitment to sustainability and creating positive environmental and social impact.
As a company founded upon navigating the world’s oceans, we acknowledge our deep connection to the natural environment and our responsibility to protect and preserve it. We also recognise the important role that we play in creating positive social impact, as a company that engages with a wide range of communities, cultures, stakeholders and partners in our work.
We demonstrate our commitment to sustainability through a focus on measurable impact and continuous improvement. We track our sustainability performance, set ambitious goals and collaborate closely with communities, partners and stakeholders to create a lasting positive impact around the world.
OUR PILLARS
To transform our sustainability vision into action, we focus on the following pillars:
At Clipper Ventures, we view sustainability holistically and recognise the importance of all aspects of sustainability – from environmental to social. Our pillars represent this, acknowledging that with a focus on our environmental footprint, our community (made up of our employees, crew, local communities and partners), and strong leadership, we can create a positive global impact.
TRACKING IMPACT AND PROGRESS
Measuring and monitoring our sustainability performance is crucial to achieving our vision. We must know where we are on our journey to identify areas of focus, set goals and make a positive impact.
We use FuturePlus, an award-winning independent sustainability platform, to measure and manage our sustainability performance and impact. FuturePlus independently assesses and verifies our performance across five key themes that map directly to our sustainability pillars:
REALTIME
SUSTAINABILITY SCORE
FuturePlus includes a wide range of sustainability indicators aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The platform assesses both our current sustainability performance in real-time (the “Actual score”) and future intent (the “Ambition score”).
Using the FuturePlus platform, we can understand our real-time sustainability performance, set ambitious goals and track our progress.
We have been using the FuturePlus platform since April 2024. In July 2024, following a comprehensive sustainability assessment process, Clipper Ventures became FuturePlus IMPACT CERTIFIED.
OUR ROADMAP
We are proud of our sustainability journey so far, but we recognise that sustainability is an ongoing process of continual improvement. Much like the Clipper Round the Yacht World Race, sustainability is a journey that requires commitment, collaboration and innovation.
Our goals for the next three years are outlined in our roadmap below and will create a positive impact across our pillars of Our Footprint, Community and Leadership.
