Sustainability

Considering that 70% of our planet are covered by water and that water governs our climate and the planet’s atmosphere, adding to the fact that 50% of the oxygen we breathe in the mountains, in cities or any kind of environment is produced by oceans - we are closer to the topic than we think. One of the early actions we took at the club was the ban of plastic straws and accessories for the drinks served at the bar to our members and guests simply replacing them by pasta straws and bamboo sticks.

Sustainability is at the heart of GYC’s values.

Since 2011, ocean and water protection have been a key focus of the club. Through partnerships with leading environmental organizations and experts, GYC continues to support projects that help preserve marine ecosystems and promote a more sustainable future.
