A clubhouse committed to a sustainable future

Egeo Certification

Keen to offer solutions to the environmental challenges of our time, the Y.C.M. has committed since January 1, 2018, to ensuring that its electricity consumption is sourced from renewable energy (Egeo Certification guarantees that the electricity provided is from renewable sources). This initiative aligns with the various actions already implemented in the past, including the obtaining of ISO 14001 certification in June 2016, a management approach that grants the Club the status of an eco-responsible company. As part of its CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) policy, the Yacht Club de Monaco leads several initiatives, such as the recycling of its swimming pool water through a technology developed by FGWRS. This sustainable approach helps preserve the environment and responsibly manage water resources. The recycled water is redirected to the pool, particularly during the filter cleaning process, replacing the potable water typically used for this purpose. Since June 2023, 128.29m³ of water has been reinjected monthly.

HQE Approach

RESPECT

The building’s design prioritizes both aesthetic quality and sustainability in line with the HQE approach. The passive design of the structure carefully balances shade and natural light, and the glass facades can be opened to allow for natural ventilation. The project incorporates photovoltaic cells, energy-efficient LED lighting, advanced systems for managing energy, waste, and water, a hydro-cooling system that recycles harbor water, solar tubes, and electric vehicle charging stations. Sustainability is considered throughout the building’s life cycle, using locally sourced materials such as European oak terraces, insulation panels, and recycled aggregates, as well as involving local businesses. The Green Construction approach also helped minimize the impact of the work on neighboring residents.

Certificat Egeo

Label e+

The Yacht Club de Monaco continues its commitment to the environment with the acquisition of the Egeo certificate, issued by SMEG (Monaco Electricity and Gas Company) since 2018, confirming that its electricity consumption is sourced from renewable energy. This allows the Club to earn the e+ label, which aligns with the goals set by the Energy and Climate Plan to drive the energy transition. Governed by a “positive energy” Charter, the e+ label refers to natural contributions from the sun, wind, and water, encouraging stakeholders in the Monaco community to intensify their commitment to eco-responsible initiatives. By taking this further step towards a cleaner future, the Y.C.M. continues to shape its future, one that will undoubtedly be sustainable.

national pact

The Yacht Club de Monaco committed to the energy transition by signing the National Pact on July 7, 2021. The Charter of the pact, which brings together various stakeholders, focuses on three key areas: mobility, waste management, and energy use. Annual action plans specify the measures taken by members for the energy transition, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. By joining this pact, the Y.C.M. highlights its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in Monaco, in collaboration with the Princely Government.
