In late 2018, a group of superyacht and scientific professionals got together to create the Water Revolution Foundation. In this episode of the Megayacht News Radio podcast series, you get to hear from one of them. Robert van Tol, the non-profit’s executive director, explains how sustainability is at the core of everything it is doing. Since today is Earth Day, there’s no better time to gain this insight. What’s more, Water Revolution Foundation is striving to improve the industry’s environmental footprint in ways beyond the commonly practiced methods.
In fact, during this podcast, van Tol (at left) discusses with our editor, Diane M. Byrne, the following key issues:
- how Water Revolution Foundation is different than other environmental-minded organizations
- why the founders believe that taking action now, and maintaining focus on actionable items, can help future-proof yachting for both the industry and owners
- how the organization aims to become a central resource, for a range of different parties
- how the yachting industry can borrow sustainability best practices that are already proven in other industries.
You also get to hear more in-depth information about Water Revolution Foundation’s five strategic actions, plus of course how you can get involved.
