Our commitment

We believe in the reduction, re-use and recycling of materials wherever possible, as well as the responsible management of all non-recyclable waste generated at our facilities.

/ Index / Foreword / Our commitment / Carbon footprint / Air / Waste / Water / Community / People / Financial & governance

Context

Our waste management policy aims to guarantee the correct disposal of both recyclable and non-recyclable material. We are continually exploring new ways to minimise the waste generated in our facilities, to enhance efficiency and ensure the use of alternative materials that do not become waste material.

The implementation of waste control systems has contributed to the efficient use of materials. We have also managed to identify and adopt reusable and biodegradable materials for yacht protection and shoe covers, and to digitalise all administrative materials.

Recovery is critical to good waste management. Across the MB92 Group, 29.4% of hazardous waste and 70.1% of non-hazardous waste was recovered in 2021.

Through communication campaigns, the waste management policy is reinforced with all shipyard users and aims to foster a culture of responsibility throughout both facilities.

Actions completed

Actions in progress

Improvements in the collection

systems to minimise the number of visits from waste collection trucks.

Floating water barriers to collect organic and inorganic waste after storms.

Collaboration with suppliers and service providers to research more sustainable materials and products with the aim of substituting the ones used now.

Use of alternative products to single-use plastics. Some examples would be cardboard sheets, paper tape, easily washable and reusable products, etc. Definition and implementation of a

new disposal method for plastic

protection by relevant suppliers, allowing material to be classified according to its physical state in order to recycle and reuse as much as possible. Smoking areas. Since November 2019, clients and employees can

smoke only in areas specially

prepared and designed for this purpose. In this way, all waste is properly managed.

A dedicated waste segregation controller on site. The importance of waste separation best practice is raised during the safety and environmental briefing given to crew that arrive at the facilities.

Extensive communications campaign highlighting the significance of waste separation through posters, brochures and certain legally binding documents (contracts, PO, prevention plan, etc.).

Future actions

Installation of covers on the waste management containers at each yacht access point allowing a new segregation mechanism capable of differentiating waste between crews and suppliers in our Barcelona facilities. Application of shoe cover improvements, including reusable products to eliminate current single use option. Two organic matter digesters that will facilitate the management of waste, avoiding daily collection and reducing the volume, holistically optimising management. Waste container upgrades to include intelligent technology to monitor and improve use.

Implementation of new containers in offices, allowing greater segregation and recycling.
