Our Mission

Our core purpose

LET’S ACHIEVE THE DREAM OF TRAVELLING ON THE OCEAN IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY

Our Vision

MerConcept is able to reinvent itself and wants to move the lines; our ambitions have changed a great deal since we were created. Driven by the strong beliefs held by François, we wanted to take account in our strategy of the environmental and social challenges that we all face today.

Therefore, in July 2020 we chose to enshrine our core purpose “Achieve the dream of travelling on the ocean in a sustainable way” and our mission within the company’s statutes in order to become a mission-driven company.

Our Mission

To set our passion and know-how to work for ocean racing within the goal of sustainable performance and to commit to carbon-free maritime mobility.

Our Commitments

1- To set our passion and know-how to work for ocean racing within the goal of sustainable performance
2- To commit to sustainable maritime mobility
3- To structure a responsible and ethical business model

Winning is no longer enough

The Pacte law

A new vision for the company

The PACTE law (Plan d’Action pour la Croissance et la Transformation des Entreprises, or Action Plan for Company Growth and Transformation), which was enacted on 22nd May 2019, seeks to give companies the means to innovate, to transform themselves and to grown, while redefining the place and role of companies in society.
This law modifies France’s Civil Code and for the first time introduces the acknowledgement of social and environmental objectives. The company therefore adopts a responsible capitalism approach, which is not driven by the search for profits alone.

The mission-driven company

A real desire for commitment

Mission-driven companies are ones which actively seek this status. This status enables companies to distinguish themselves from traditional profit-making companies by working for the common good. It combines economic effectiveness with a contribution to society and brings employees together around shared ambitions and values.
