Yamaha Rightwaters supports waterway cleanups, invasive species removal and oyster reef restoration.
The Harris Cruiser E-210 features a Mercury Marine Avator electric outboard.
Yamaha Marine is a long-time supporter of the Coastal Conservation Association( CCA), an organization dedicated to ensuring the health and conservation of marine resources.
Yamaha Marine has committed to achieving carbon neutrality in its operations by 2035 and in its products by 2050. Brunswick Corporation aims to achieve zero waste to landfill at 40 facilities by 2030, reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 30 % by the end of 2025, and provide 60 % of electricity from renewable sources by the end of 2025.
“ Although recreational marine only contributes about 0.7 % of greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation sector, all sectors must take part in efforts to limit climate change impacts,” said Jennifer Koenig, chief sustainability officer at Brunswick.
Sustainable operations
Improving energy efficiency in manufacturing is an effective way to reduce emissions and operating costs quickly. Both Brunswick and Yamaha have made this a priority.
According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Scope 1 emissions are direct greenhouse( GHG) emissions that occur from sources that are controlled or owned by an organization( emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces, vehicles). Scope 2 emissions are indirect GHG emissions associated with the purchase of electricity, steam, heat, or cooling. Scope 3 emissions are the result of activities from assets not owned or controlled by the reporting organization, but that the organization indirectly affects in its value chain. An organization’ s value chain consists of both its upstream and downstream activities.
