Preservation of our pristine waters and verdant shorelines is a responsibility shared by boaters and boat builders alike. While the debate on carbon emissions and global warming continues, we have chosen to use energy more efficiently and limit emissions that harm the environment.
As the world leader in the marine industry, Brunswick is taking an integrated approach to these challenges by assuming the responsibility to produce eco-friendly boats and marine engines. We set high standards striving for performance that does not merely comply with regulations but also seeking to reduce the environmental impacts where we can. We have a responsibility to take care of our planet and preserve its beauty, resources and strength for future generations. From the selection of raw materials to factory equipment to manufacturing processes, every decision is evaluated to minimize harm to the environment.
Our manufacturing plants utilize the most environmentally friendly materials and components available. Gelcoats and resins are specially formulated to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Components such as fuel/air separators designed to prevent fuel spills are standard equipment. Our manufacturing plants features state-of-the-art air handling systems designed to limit styrene emissions.
As the world leader in the marine industry propulsion technology, we see to it that all our engines feature the latest in fuel efficiency and exhaust emissions technology. Mercury sells more four-stroke marine engines than anyone else, and our FourStroke technology exceeds EPA emissions standards. The Mercury Verado® supercharged engine is noted for its silence, low fuel consumption and low exhaust levels. MerCruiser multi-port injection petrol engines and Cummins MerCruiser common-rail diesels comply with all European emissions standards by a wide margin.
Our quest for clean, efficient power is a never-ending process. We constantly seek improved methods to squeeze maximum performance from every drop of fuel, yet leave minimal or no trace in the environment. We value the Earth, its environment and natural resources, and we're committed to treating both with respect.
