Measuring the carbon footprint

OC Sport Pen Duick is committed to transforming the way a major sailing race is organised over the long term. Limiting the environmental footprint of the event, while giving each visitor the means to enjoy the best possible experience and making it the least greenhouse gas intensive possible.

With this in mind, OC Sport Pen Duick is carrying out a carbon assessment of the event in order to identify the areas that emit the most greenhouse gases (GHG), to define a medium- and long-term reduction trajectory and to draw up an action plan for the future.

What is a carbon footprint?

The Bilan Carbone is a method developed by ADEME (Agence de l'environnement et de la maîtrise de l'énergie) to measure the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of a company, event, product or individual.
This exercise is essential if we are to take the most effective action possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Carbon contribution - projects with high environmental and social value

In addition to challenging all our practices with a view to minimising the carbon impact of the ARKEA ULTIM CHALLENGE-Brest, we are launching a 100% local carbon contribution plan in collaboration with Agoterra. The idea is simple: to support virtuous and regenerative agricultural initiatives - carried out near Brest - which help to sequester significant quantities of CO2 while supporting a sustainable employment dynamic. Regenerative agriculture also offers numerous co-benefits, such as improving water and soil quality and preserving the surrounding biodiversity.

What is the carbon contribution?

Contributing to global carbon neutrality is a mechanism that allows you to have a positive impact on the environment, communities and carbon neutrality outside the scope of your business, by participating in the development of initiatives that minimise or sequester greenhouse gas emissions.
