Mercury Marine releases 2018 Sustainability Report

Mercury Marine has released its 2018 Sustainability Report and supporting video highlighting the company’s investment in protecting the environment, preserving energy, manufacturing products, supporting communities and creating a sustainable climate.

“We know the marine industry, with its dependency on clean air and water, is a natural priority for sustainability and we want everyone around the marine industry to know it’s a better place because we are here,” said John Pfeifer, Mercury Marine president. “We don’t just want to be a marine propulsion business, we are a socially responsible business that makes communities here, in China, Europe, South America and around the world better; we think that’s important.”

Mercury’s new V-6 and V-8 four-stroke outboard engines are highlighted for sustainability, innovative technology and environmental stewardship. Since its first sustainability report to the community in 2011, Mercury’s sustainability efforts have progressively evolved to the point where the company is pursuing ever more aggressive goals and objectives.

The four pillars of Mercury Marine’s sustainability initiative are:

Energy: Achieving greater energy efficiency by implementing energy-reducing projects, promoting best practices in energy management and employing new energy technologies.

 Environment: Preserving the natural places where customers use Mercury products for work and play; decreasing the use of natural resources through conservation, redeployment and recycling; and returning purified resources to the planet whenever possible.

 Product: Minimizing engines’ impact on water, land and air — recognizing the need for an unspoiled environment in which to live and enjoy Mercury Marine products.

People: Helping people who relate with Mercury Marine — employees, partners, customers and the communities where Mercury operates — to enjoy happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
