Blue Impact Programme
The Blue Impact Programme is E1’s vehicle to accelerate the global blue economy through advocacy, action and measurable impact. E1 stands at the forefront of a global movement to redefine humanity’s relationship with water. As the world’s first all-electric raceboat racing Championship, E1 is built on the belief that our oceans, rivers and coastal ecosystems are not only environments to protect, but living systems that - if restored and responsibly managed - can generate long-term ecological, social and economic value.
The E1 Blue Impact Programme translates this belief into action, positioning the Championship as a catalyst for ocean-positive innovation, awareness and restoration across our global race calendar.
