Our commitment to the environment
At Emsworth Sailing club we are dedicated to protecting the environment that makes our sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, paddleboarding, swimming and rowing possible.
We are proud to follow the guidance of the RYA Green Blue programme and are committed to reducing our impact on the natural world. By working together as members, volunteers, and staff we aim to make ESC a leader in sustainable sailing.
Environmental Statement
Emsworth Sailing Club recognises its responsibility to the environment beyond legal and regulatory requirements. We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and to continually improving our environmental performance as part of our everyday operations.
Responsibility
The ESC General Committee oversees the implementation of our Environment Policy. A small environment working group leads the delivery of our action plan, but every member, visitor and employee has a role to play in supporting our environmental goals.
Our Environmental Commitments
We aim to:
- Comply with all relevant environmental and legal requirements
- Reduce our environmental impact and improve performance year on year
- Use energy and water responsibly
- Cut down on waste and eliminate single-use plastics
- Protect the waters and habitats we share with wildlife
- Build awareness and encourage every member to play their part
Our Culture
Sustainability is at the heart of our Club values. Through education, practical action and community involvement, we will continue to protect the harbour we call home.
