• Developing a zero-direct-emissions electric outboard concept 

• Declaring a second distribution center a “zero waste to landfill” facility

“Our successes show that we prioritize sustainability in everything we do, regardless of the circumstances,” said Chris Drees, Mercury Marine president. We are in a unique position to drive more sustainable processes, minimize our environmental impact and positively affect the communities in which we live and work. Our teams across the globe have built sustainability into every aspect of how we operate, and it has become part of our DNA.”
 
Mercury remains on track to accomplish its sustainability goals along each of its four pillars by the year-end 2025 and 2030 deadlines established for various initiatives.
 
“We will continue to lead the way as we engage with partners and the communities where we do business. Mercury continues to push forward with a commitment to achieving our vision of sustainability and leading by example,” Drees said.
