Sailing is dependent on the environment and by following a few simple rules of conduct when sailing we can ensure our sport has no negative impact on the environment.

Through the very environment in which we practise our sport, sailors are already very environmentally aware and World Sailing has the following objectives to respect and safeguard our environment:

• Develop and implement a sustainability programme for the sport and events
• Increase and develop awareness of sustainability issues amongst all sailing stakeholders
• Support the development of Olympic Games and World Sailing event venues that are sustainable for the environment, economy and community
• Position sailing as environmentally aware
