AkzoNobel Yacht Coatings Business Partners with Water Revolution Foundation
The Water Revolution Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that works to preserve the world’s oceans by helping the yacht industry drive down its environmental impact.
Creating a more sustainable yacht industry and helping to protect the world’s oceans are reportedly the main goals driving a new partnership between AkzoNobel’s Yacht Coatings business and the Water Revolution Foundation. Having already made a long-term commitment to bring positive change to the industry, the AkzoNobel business will share its knowledge and insight to the partnership. Established in 2018, the Water Revolution Foundation is a not-for-profit organization that works to preserve the world’s oceans by helping the yacht industry drive down its environmental impact.
“We have a natural connection with the Water Revolution Foundation and share the same goals, in that we both want to create a more eco-conscious and more sustainable yacht industry,” said Jean-Michel Gauthier, director of AkzoNobel’s Marine and Protective Coatings business, which includes the Yacht Coatings activities. “We pride ourselves on our sustainable products and, by teaming up with the Foundation, we are committed to conserving our oceans. We look forward to working closely together and are excited about what we can both achieve.”
