Loeser (Arca Fondi), ‘the circular economy is a reality and has its own value’

Circular economy, environment, social responsibility: these are the key words of Arca Sgr and the Fast and Furio Sailing Team who once again crossed the sea this year on the occasion of the Rolex Giraglia 2022. “We recycled a boat that had to be torn apart and thrown away and with this boat we once again became protagonists in the most important regatta in the Mediterranean. We missed the victory for a few minutes after 34 hours in which we were almost always in the lead, but and we have shown that the circular economy is a reality and has its own value “, these are the words of Ugo Loeser, CEO of Arca Fondi. Sgr which also underlines the social aspect of the event: “We have given visibility and support to many associations, in particular to the children of Gaslini”. “The social aspect linked to the sporting aspect is fundamental for us in this project because, precisely because we win and we are protagonists, our protagonism contributes to giving visibility and support to these associations. Being able to see the hospital from the boat and not the boat from the hospital is something that fills these children and their families with joy, who unfortunately are less fortunate, and in addition we have the project to have the first environmental certification based on product life cycle made for a boat like ours which is a salvaged object and which has returned to a new youth, to a new competitiveness ”Loeser emphasizes. The prestigious Rolex Giraglia sailing competition, with the sponsorship of Banca Carige and Arca Fondi Sgr, went to the Maxi 100 Magic Carpet 3 which preceded Maxi 100 Arca Sgr, but Loeser is still satisfied with the result and does not lose hope of regaining the victory in 2023: “We had a very fast boat. We performed very well in the first and two races, we started well, we always went head to head, we fought for it. Then someone second where to arrive. The other year we won, this year they won, next year there will be a playoff “.
