OUR MISSION & VISION
LWhy we want to be not only be the best in the world but also the best for the world.
ONE TREE FOR EACH BOARD SOLD
We plant one mangrove per board sold – each tree offsetting 1 tonne CO2 over the course of 20 years – making every board ten times carbon net positive.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We are living it every single day, always trying to be a little bit better than the day before.
THE PLASTIC OFFSET PROGRAM
Starboard is pioneering a pilot program with an internal tax on plastic based on the company usage. The funds from the tax goes to a program that clean up plastic from the beaches in Pattaya, Thailand, offsetting our plastic impact.
