EBI has been awarded the prestigious ‘Impact’ Award at the European Association Awards 2025, held on 10 April in Brussels. The award recognises the success of EBI’s Blue Boat Horizon project—its largest and most ambitious sustainability initiative to date. The project promotes the use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to measure and improve the environmental performance of recreational boats, uniting industry leaders across Europe in a shared mission. The awards are organised by the European Society of Association Executives (ESAE), the leading organisation representing association professionals in Europe and promoting excellence across the sector.

EBI was also a finalist in the ‘Event Innovation’ category, alongside boot Düsseldorf, for the Blue Innovation Dock.
