Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility:
Let’s invent sustainable boating together.
At a time when environmental and societal issues are at the heart of our concerns, Allures Yachting and the Grand Large Yachting group affirm their commitment to pioneering sustainable boating.
Respect for the environment is one of Allures Yachting’s core values
The initial ambition of the group’s founders was to create innovative sailing boats, as they were convinced that sailing was, and still is, the most natural and respectful of practices. DIn this spirit, which remains unchanged, the group has been building sailboats for nearly 20 years that are designed to sail around the world using the maximum natural energy of the wind. Indeed, our boats allow to maximize sailing without an engine, therefore without CO2 emissions. .
1 – Mainstream the eco-design of boats
We aim to optimize our environmental performance at every stage of their life: design, production, distribution, use and end of life.
From the choice of materials to the definition of systems, from the production process to the sailing experience, everything must be screened for sustainability.
Using more natural materials, favoring engines that are more economical in terms of fossil fuels or run on renewable energies, or anticipating the recycling of boats: these are Research & Development fundamentals that are building sustainable yachting.

2 – Aiming to set an example socially
Because sustainable yachting starts with respect for the men and women who work here, Grand Large Yachting invests to optimize the working conditions of its employees, and to ensure their comfort, safety and fulfillment.
The CSR performance of each of the Group’s entities is managed with ever higher efficiency – which allows for concrete improvements, year after year.
We started in 2018 by setting up a sustainable development committee, which has already launched concrete actions: major investments in safety, organization of training, implementation of waste sorting, annual site clean-up campaign, actions to reduce our non-recyclable waste.

3 – Involve our customers and suppliers in sustainable boating
It is the combined action of our 500 employees, our suppliers, our customers and our partners, throughout the entire value chain, that will make an impact. In concrete terms, this means committing the players in our supply chain to develop solutions that are more respectful of the environment, strengthening team training and raising awareness of best practice among our customers and boaters.
It is in this spirit that we are working, for example, with the Tara Ocean Foundation on dedicated training courses.
Through this approach, Grand Large Yachting is seeking to contribute on its own scale and to instill a more global dynamic.
