P1 Marine Foundation

In September 2010, P1 launched a registered charity which has as its principal objective the promotion of the conservation, protection and improvement of the marine and coastal environment. The Foundation focuses on conservation by supporting research, raising awareness of serious threats to the oceans and creating selected partnerships.

Education is seen as a fundamental element in protecting the marine environment to develop the understanding and value of marine life, and the Foundation works with schools, colleges and universities both regionally and nationally as well as in specific overseas markets.

There is a close working relationship between the Foundation and P1, particularly in terms of committing to continuous improvement of environmental performance in P1 Offshore and P1 AquaX racing. The Foundation has supported P1 in its aim to exceed minimum requirements for environmental legislation and other approved codes of practice, reduce environmental impacts at race events and beyond, and continue to operate in an environmentally responsible manner.
