Fountaine Pajot industrial transition

In order to become leader in energetic transition in the cruising industry, Fountaine Pajot shipyard is accelerating changes both on board its boats and in the production facilities.

  • using cleaner and less material and recycling waste, as well as reducing energy use and facilitate cleaner energies;
  • auditing and controlling suppliers in order to enforce specifications, and finding local suppliers.
