sustainability
Our principle
We aim to help the yachting industry become more sustainable by raising awareness of environmental issues, encouraging collaboration among different stakeholders, and promoting innovation.
Our mission at Arketyp Yachts is to inspire hope and create transformative experiences on the water by crafting exceptional luxury yachts that blend innovation, elegance, and performance. We believe in harnessing the power of the blue economy, where sustainable ocean-based economic activities drive prosperity, conservation, and social equity. Through our yachts, we aim to connect individuals with the beauty and vastness of the ocean, igniting a sense of wonder, adventure, and reverence for the marine environment.
In our vision, our luxury yachts become more than just vessels of opulence; they become symbols of hope, inspiration, and positive change. We aspire to create a paradigm shift in the industry, where luxury and environmental consciousness go hand in hand. Our yachts will be designed with meticulous attention to eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient technologies, and responsible manufacturing processes, ensuring minimal impact on marine ecosystems.
We lead by example in the yachting industry and beyond, setting new standards for excellence. Through empowerment, we create sustainable livelihoods within the blue economy, while prioritizing eco-friendly practices to minimize our ecological footprint. Collaboration drives collective action for coastal development and marine conservation, while innovation neo-fuels our pursuit of sustainable practices. Inclusivity ensures equal access to opportunities, and resilience guides our efforts to withstand environmental challenges and inspire others to protect marine ecosystems.

Corporate Social Responsibility
We recognize that our business operations have wide-ranging impacts beyond financial performance, extending to the well-being of communities and the environment. Through our CSR initiatives, we strive to make a positive difference by supporting local communities, championing environmental sustainability, and upholding ethical standards in all aspects of our operations. From charitable giving and volunteerism to environmentally friendly practices and fair labor standards, our commitment to CSR guides our decision-making and drives us to be responsible corporate citizens. By embracing CSR, we not only fulfill our ethical obligations but also contribute to building a more equitable, sustainable, and prosperous future for all.
Our EcoWork charter
Small actions can make a big difference. That’s why we have developed the EcoWork charter, a set of guidelines and best practices that all our team members follow. Our charter serves as a roadmap for sustainable behavior at work, ensuring that we collectively contribute to a cleaner environment.
We understand that knowledge is power when it comes to sustainability. To raise awareness and encourage responsible decision-making, we calculate individual CO2 emissions for each team member and stakeholder associated with our company. By understanding our carbon footprint on an individual level, we can make informed choices to reduce emissions and work towards a more sustainable future.

We recognize the significant impact of commuting on carbon emissions. To mitigate our ecological footprint, we have prioritized home office arrangements, allowing our team members to work remotely whenever possible. This approach not only reduces CO2 emissions from transportation but also promotes work-life balance and flexibility.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond the physical office space. We actively engage in responsible web surfing by using search engines like Lilo and Ecosia that support environmental causes and offset carbon emissions. By simply using these platforms for our online searches, we contribute to reforestation efforts and make a positive impact on the environment.
Furthermore, the emissions generated by our website are offset by planting trees through Tree-Nation, thereby mitigating the environmental impact.
We strive to optimize our communication practices to minimize unnecessary energy consumption. While video calls are valuable for certain discussions, we encourage the use of chat and messaging platforms for day-to-day interactions. This approach reduces the need for excessive energy consumption and helps us maintain efficient and effective communication channels.
We prioritize purchasing decisions that align with our commitment to sustainability. This includes sourcing products and services from suppliers with strong environmental credentials and opting for items with minimal packaging and eco-friendly materials whenever possible. By choosing sustainable alternatives, we minimize our ecological footprint throughout the supply chain and support businesses that share our values.
Waste management is a critical aspect of our sustainability efforts. We implement strategies to minimize waste generation in our operations, such as paper-free processes, reducing single-use plastics, implementing recycling programs for paper, plastic, and other materials, and encouraging composting where feasible. By adopting a circular economy mindset, we aim to minimize landfill waste and maximize resource efficiency, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable future. Through these initiatives, we not only reduce our environmental impact but also demonstrate our commitment to responsible stewardship of the planet.
Continuous improvement
Sustainability is an ongoing journey, and we are committed to continually improving our practices. We regularly assess our operations, explore new technologies and innovations, and seek feedback from our team and stakeholders. By staying adaptive and open to change, we can identify new opportunities to reduce our environmental impact and drive positive change.
