Our objectives and key results

The Yachting New Zealand Clean Club initiative provides a framework, but we don’t want this to be just a tick box exercise. There are specific things that we want to achieve for our club, and initiatives that will be more appropriate for us given our location and circumstances. We have set the following objectives and the results we’ll look to achieve.

Our programme delivers tangible benefits – for nature, the environment, our community, and our finances

  • Measurement programme in place
  • Reduction in identified metrics – e.g. resource use, energy use, waste, water use
  • Return on investment
  • Members knowing and doing more

We create an achievable and enduring programme of work

  • Programme plan, approved by the Board
  • Well documented programme of work that can be picked up by others
  • Governance framework in place

We build our club community by encouraging engagement and participation

  • Members changing their behaviour
  • Participation in activities
  • Volunteers to drive parts of the programme
  • Feedback from members

We extend our reach and impact by working with others

  • Wellington’s four yacht clubs working together
  • Connections with other clubs and organisations delivering results
  • (over time) Sponsorship for initiatives
