Why is a reliable reference needed to assess & compare superyachts? How does YETI work? What makes it a credible method? Is it relevant for regulatory requirements & developments? In which ways can it be practically applied to improve & upgrade the yachting fleet?
To address such critical questions, we are pleased to announce a new development: the Yacht Environmental Transparency Index (YETI) Webinar Series, developed to share the background, scientific approach, and practical application of this much-needed method for evaluating the environmental impact of superyachts.
Episode 1
The first episode will be taking place on Thursday, 7 March, 2024, 14:30 – 15:15 CET. Under the expert guidance of our Technical Director Hanna Dąbrowska & Executive Director Robert van Tol, this virtual session will offer a first of multiple insights into YETI, providing the foundational knowledge essential for embracing this pivotal tool to benefit your organisation. All yachting stakeholders are warmly invited to join us for a transformative session that will lay the groundwork for environmentally upgrading the existing fleet and optimising new build projects!
