Amico & Co is a proud sponsor of “The Ocean Race, Genoa – The Grand Finale“, in the name of sustainability and in support of the local territory.
This spectacular event concludes the around the world regatta that started in January in Alicante and for the first time in its 50-year history arrives in Italy and specifically in Genoa, after 32,000 miles of sailing.
“For Amico & Co, which fully shares the values, objectives and motivations that have driven Genoa get involved and want to become a protagonist of this legendary regatta that combines the world of sport, sustainability and technological excellence, For us it is an honour to be a sponsor and contribute to the event,’ declared Alberto Amico, President of Amico & Co. S.p.A. “Given the vocation of Genoa as the Capital of the Sea, we have always invested in the capacity to welcome and manage superyachts and megayachts. The management of these yachts that choose the Mediterranean and our Waterfront Marina is just the latest example. Together with the organisers of The Ocean Race, we share a respect for the oceans that for us means a commitment to cleaner processes and to the creation of an economic ecosystem that is perfectly compatible with the surrounding territory, capable of generating value and wealth and of qualifying the city, also in terms of environmental sustainability’.
During the event, which will run in Amico & Co’s Waterfront Marina, which will be rechristened Ocean Live Park, Amico & Co will present the path that it is taking towards cleaner processes to the public on the 27th June, publishing its first Sustainability Report, the result of a process of context analysis and stakeholder involvement. The document, drawn up voluntarily according to the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), aims to provide a transparent picture of company performance and future goals.
Genoa the Grand Finale will welcome the Ocean Race boats with a major event and from 24th June to 2nd July 2023, the Ocean Live Park will attract sportsmen, sailors and lovers of the sea from all over Italy and beyond. The principles of the Charter of Ocean Rights, which will then be delivered to the UN Assembly, will also be presented during the event, as well as many other initiatives taking place both in the land and water areas of Waterfront Marina and in the neighbouring Marina Fiera Genova, which is managed by Porto Antico Spa.
