Beno holds an independently verified EcoVadis Bronze sustainability rating (65/100, top 35%), backed by ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001 certifications and UN Global Compact endorsement.
The waters in Dubai are home to some of the most luxurious charters in the world, and as sustainable energy and carbon-free emissions take the center of the global stage, guests are asking a new question before they book: how sustainable is this experience? For anyone searching for a sustainable yacht rental Dubai, Beno has built a strong answer, backed not by our practices alone but by an independent, third-party sustainability assessment.
Beno EcoVadis Bronze: An Independently Verified Rating
Beno’s recent EcoVadis Bronze certification is at the center of this story. EcoVadis is a globally recognized sustainability ratings provider, and Beno earned an overall score of 65 out of 100, placing the luxury and hospitality company in the top 35% of companies assessed and in the 72nd percentile overall. The rating, published in December 2025 and valid through December 2026, evaluated Beno across four pillars: Environment, Labor & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement.
Ethics was Beno's strongest area, scoring 80 out of 100, reflecting policies on corruption, fraud, information security, and conflict of interest, along with certifications including ISO 27001 for information security. Environment scored 68 out of 100, supported by an ISO 14001 environmental management certification. Labor & Human Rights and Sustainable Procurement each scored 57 out of 100. Beno also holds ISO 45001 certification for occupational health and safety and is an endorser of the United Nations Global Compact. Together, these results give guests a transparent, verified benchmark rather than a self-reported claim, which is exactly what sets a genuine sustainable yacht rental Dubai apart from one that simply uses green language.
Beno provides not just the services but redefines how our guests enjoy luxurious yacht rental without worrying about their carbon footprint.
Reducing Environmental Impact on the Water with Beno
A big part of any credible eco-friendly yacht rental Dubai operation is what happens behind the scenes, not just what guests see on deck. Beno's EcoVadis submission documents a Marine Fuel Efficiency and GHG Reduction program alongside broader energy-efficiency actions across its fleet and shore operations. The goal is an objective carbon reduction and global impact that lets our clients enjoy water activities peacefully.
On energy, Beno reported total consumption of 29,931 GJ for the 2024 reporting year, of which 1,183 GJ, or roughly 4%, came from renewable energy sources. Beno also tracked and reported its greenhouse gas footprint for 2024: 2,760 metric tons of CO2 equivalent from Scope 1 sources, 147 metric tons from Scope 2, and 805 metric tons from Scope 3, for a combined total of 3,712 metric tons of CO2 equivalent. EcoVadis confirmed that supporting documentation backed these figures. It's worth noting that this monitoring has some exclusions and has not yet been externally assured, so these numbers should be read as Beno's reported baseline rather than a verified reduction or a net-zero claim. Still, having any measured baseline at all puts Beno ahead of many operators in sustainable yachting Dubai.
Waste management tells a similar story of steady, documented progress. In 2024, Beno reported 0.75 metric tons of hazardous waste and 17 metric tons of non-hazardous waste, with 7.1 metric tons recovered, close to 40% of the combined total. EcoVadis specifically credited Beno for reducing internal waste through reuse and repurposing, sorting waste by stream, using eco-friendly or bio-based materials, and refurbishing IT hardware rather than discarding it.
Partnerships Geared Toward Sustainable Luxury Experiences for Guests
What makes Beno sustainable yacht experiences distinct is that the sustainability commitment extends into the guest experience itself, not just the paperwork, with several partnerships geared toward achieving the global initiative for a reduced carbon footprint.
Beno has partnered with ENJO, an Austrian brand known for chemical-free cleaning technology, to maintain its yachts and water sports equipment. ENJOtex fibre technology cleans using only water, replacing conventional detergents across yacht interiors, water sports gear, and beach hub operations, and the products are purpose-built for marine environments through ENJO's dedicated yachting division.
On the guest wellness side, Beno has partnered with SunKiss, a clean-conscious suncare brand, to outfit every yacht with suncare products available throughout the charter. Guests joining a Beno water sports activity also receive a complimentary SunKiss product as part of the experience, reflecting a shared commitment to ocean-friendly, sustainable ingredients.
For consumables and packaging, Beno works with Avani Middle East to reduce single-use plastics without compromising guest-facing quality. This includes eco-friendly cups and lids, some of which are compostable or made from PLA, along with cassava-based biodegradable bags for shopping and operational use. Beno has extended this approach into hospitality partnerships as well, supplying customized, eco-conscious packaging aligned with Fairmont The Palm's brand standards.
Beyond the Services and Products: The Sustainable People Culture
Sustainability at Beno also reflects in how the company treats its workforce and chooses its partners. EcoVadis credited Beno for actions supporting adequate wages, overtime compensation, skills development, individual career planning, employee satisfaction surveys, health check-ups, and feedback mechanisms for both discrimination and general working conditions. Beno's ISO 45001 certification reinforces this commitment to health and safety.
On the supply chain, Beno scored a perfect 100 out of 100 for Sustainable Procurement Measures. EcoVadis recognized a supplier sustainability code of conduct, social and environmental clauses built into supplier contracts, supplier risk assessments, buyer training on sustainability issues, and mechanisms for supplier grievances. This means that choosing Beno for a private yacht rental Dubai experience also means supporting a supply chain that is being actively assessed and managed for social and environmental impact. It’s an interplay of several chains of services built on the global foundation of sustainability.
What this Means for Guests who Rent Yachts Through Beno
None of this is about claiming perfection. EcoVadis itself flagged areas where Beno still has room to grow, particularly around formal policy documentation in procurement and labor reporting. But the overall picture is one of a company that has chosen to be measured, rather than simply making claims. That is the real value of a sustainable yacht rental Dubai search leading to Beno: an independently rated Bronze certification, documented environmental measures, guest-facing eco-conscious partnerships, and a supply chain held to real standards.
For travelers who want a luxury charter experience without ignoring its footprint, Beno's approach offers something rare in the yacht rental market: sustainability you can actually verify.
With over 2,000 vehicles including luxury sedans, SUVs, supercars, and 100+ vessels that includes superyachts, megayachts, and boats, Beno provides a hospitality service that delivers excellently and sustainably, supporting the global green initiative and wellness for guests for utmost satisfaction, according to a report by Khaleejtimes
