Our sustainability commitment at GUYOT Team Europe

GUYOT Team Europe intro

Why we act on plastic

The Ocean Race is not only one of the world's most challenging and thrilling team sports, but it's also a powerful platform for raising awareness about the environment. As teams cover 12,000 nautical miles across remote regions, they unveil the breathtaking beauty of our oceans and the devastating impact of human activities. This year, we joined forces with Team Europe to make a real difference.

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.

How we support local communities

By supporting waste collection, we improve lives in coastal communities and create safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.

By working with CleanHub, we’re making sure 20,000kg of plastic will never end up in our oceans. 🙌
