D-Marin, the selection of premium marinas, has been awarded the EcoVadis Gold Medal for 2025, placing it among the top 2% of 130,000 businesses assessed worldwide. This recognition reinforces the brand’s commitment to sustainability, social impact and ethical governance.

Achieving Gold status marks D-Marin’s advancement from Silver and positions it in the top performance tier globally. This distinction is reserved for companies with robust sustainability management and high scores in Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement.

D-Marin continues to strengthen its leadership position in the leisure marine industry through measurable environmental and social progress. The brand holds 26 Blue Flag accreditations across its marina portfolio and has reduced greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 22% since 2021. Its target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% by 2030 aligns with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and supports the objectives of the Paris Agreement.

Renewable energy is a cornerstone of D-Marin’s sustainability strategy. The company now has 5 MW of solar capacity installed across its marinas in Turkey, Croatia, and Italy, and has invested an additional €1.5 million in solar development over the past year. Moreover, all Croatian marinas operate on 100% renewable electricity certified through Guarantees of Origin, ensuring fully verified green energy.

Environmental protection efforts also continue to scale across the group. Last year alone, more than 15 tonnes of waste were managed across D-Marin marinas, with 30% recycled. Using technologies such as the Jellyfishbot and DPOL® systems, along with voluntary seabed and beach clean-ups across its marinas, the company removed over five tonnes of marine debris. Clean mobility is a core focus across the portfolio, with most marinas equipped with electric vehicle charging stations, alongside electric carts, scooters, bikes and service vehicles supporting low-emission operations. D-Marin has also achieved a 13% reduction in waste over three years, complemented by circular-economy initiatives.

D-Marin is further strengthening its biodiversity initiatives, building on the programme first introduced at its French marina, Camille Rayon. The company has now completed the installation of "Biohuts", innovative artificial fish nurseries developed with Ecocean’s expertise to support the natural repopulation and restoration of local marine ecosystems, at three additional locations: D-Marin Dalmacija in Croatia, D-Marin Gouvia in Greece and D-Marin Porto Mirabello in Italy.

D-Marin continues to invest in its people, achieving continuous growth in its Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), reaching 71 in 2025 up from 37 in 2021. This steady improvement reflects strengthened engagement, culture, and employee satisfaction across the group.

Korina Kostakaki, Head of Sustainability at D-Marin, said: “At D-Marin, we are committed to excellence across all ESG pillars and to strengthening our performance at every opportunity. Our mission is to minimize our environmental impact, drive positive social progress and uphold the highest standards of governance expected by ourstakeholders. Earning the EcoVadis Gold Medal is a proud milestone that recognises our ongoing dedication to sustainability, and we remain firmly committed to shaping a more sustainable future for all.”

Christina Samoulada, CHRO of D-Marin, added: “Our people are at the heart of everything we do. This year’s results reflect the impact of our continued investment in learning, well-being and inclusive leadership. An eNPS of 71 shows a strong and growing sense of trust, belonging and engagement across our teams.
