AkzoNobel

The race has signed a partnership with AkzoNobel to amplify its Sustainability programme.

The partnership focuses in particular on educating people about reducing plastic use and protecting our oceans – pro-actively build on the long-established commitment to sustainability of both parties.

“Our involvement with the Volvo Ocean Race and the participation of team AkzoNobel are a perfect fit with our Planet Possible sustainability strategy,” explained André Veneman, AkzoNobel’s Corporate Director of Sustainability.
 
“There’s a fundamental link between the sustainability goals of the race itself and our own efforts to achieve radical resource efficiency, such as offering sustainable and innovative products to customers that provide a positive social and environmental impact. So it makes perfect sense for us to support the fantastic Volvo Ocean Race sustainability program being put together for the next race.”
