INNOVATION, DECARBONIZATION AND CIRCULARITY CAN LEAD TO A SUSTAINABLE, PERFORMANCE DRIVEN FUTURE
In 2020 GS4C Co-founded THE FUTURES PROGRAM with The Race Around, a fully sustainable racing event that will help drive this push towards circularity and true sustainability throughout the marine sector and beyond into additional manufacturing sectors.
The futures programme is The Race Around’s owned initiative; challenging our operations both on land and at sea, to reduce our impacts on the planet through collaboration with cutting edge technology and fostering smarter thinking.
