Protecting the Environment
Protecting the environment
Particularly committed to the preservation of the environment, PONANT minimizes its impact on the planet with ships purpose-built to reduce their footprint and a philosophy of respect and protection of the world. With a resolute desire to be the leader in this field, Ponant pursues a strong ecological policy each and every day that includes:
- Environmental regulatory compliance of operations and anticipation of new regulations that are likely to have an impact on activities,
- Implementation of best practices in recycling and reuse of solid waste and wastewater,
-Certification of ships by the international “Clean Ship” label, which certifies minimal environmental impact,
- Use of green equipment on Ponant’s four sister ships, such as a quiet and economical electric propulsion system, MDO (Marine Diesel Oil) engines, which are lighter and produce less pollution, and a sonar sand-bank detection system,
- The pursuit of energy efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions,
- Development of techniques, procedures, and partnerships in order to preserve marine biodiversity and the coastal environment and to respect the communities that Ponant visits.
A signatory of the La Charte Bleue d’Armateurs de France, PONANT is also a member of the International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators (IAATO), working to safeguard flora and fauna in the most sensitive climates through the adoption of responsible behavior.

Since 2014, PONANT has adopted a CSR policy and is committed, through measures and regular checks, to:
- Excelling in health and safety management
