In celebration of World Environment Day 2025, D-Marin proudly acknowledges its impressive advancements in environmental performance across its distinguished marinas in the Mediterranean and Gulf regions. With a focus on sustainability, D-Marin has demonstrated its commitment through continuous investments, innovative approaches, and strategic collaborations aimed at redefining responsible marine hospitality. In its efforts to minimize environmental impact, D-Marin has committed substantial resources to clean energy infrastructure and waste reduction technologies.
In 2024 alone, the company successfully managed over 15 tonnes of solid waste across its facilities, with 30% of this waste being recycled. Utilizing advanced systems such as DPOL2 and Jellyfishbot, D-Marin conducted extensive seabed and surface clean-ups, removing more than five tonnes of marine debris in regions including Greece, Croatia, the UAE, and France. Simultaneously, D-Marin has introduced smart pedestal systems to enhance efficiency in water and energy usage at its berths.
The company has also made strides in solar energy production, generating 4.9 GWh annually from installations in Turkey and Croatia, capable of powering over 1,345 homes. Additionally, D-Marin has purchased 6.5 GWh in ‘Guarantees of Origin’ to further minimize its environmental footprint. A pivotal achievement this year involved D-Marin’s commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), with a pledge to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030, aligning with the Paris Agreement’s goals.
COO Andrea De Santis emphasized that environmental responsibility is a guiding principle in shaping the future of yachting. D-Marin’s dedication to sustainability has earned recognition through awards such as a Silver Medal from EcoVadis, the Green Apple Environment Award, and group-wide ISO 14001 certification. Ongoing Blue Flag certification at its Mediterranean marinas reflects excellence in water quality and environmental education.
Furthermore, D-Marin emphasizes awareness and education by collaborating with organizations like WWF France and HELMEPA, engaging local communities through various initiatives. These efforts highlight D-Marin’s mission to grow responsibly while creating a sustainable future alongside its guests and communities.
