Sustainability
At the RNLI, we recognise that we must all play our part, no matter how big or small, to ensure a more sustainable future for all. And so that, together, we can save lives for generations to come.
Our sustainability vision is:
We are committed to spending your money wisely, and how we do things is just as important as what we do. We understand that the three pillars of sustainability include our environmental, social and economic impacts and that if there is an impact on one pillar, it is likely there will be knock-on impacts to the other pillars.
That’s why we’re taking action across all three pillars, aiming to reduce the things that we’re doing that may or do have negative impacts, and doing more of the things that do or can have positive impacts.
This is our watch
What we do today lays the foundations for the sustainable RNLI of tomorrow. Our Watch lays out our shared intent for 5 years from 2020 to 2024. In order to achieve the six Outcomes outlined in Our Watch in a more sustainable way, we have committed to consider sustainability in everything we do.
It’s our social responsibility to look after our people and work in partnership with communities and stakeholders to help us maintain a sustainable organisation.
