Re-Quip Foundation is a non-profit pioneering initiative to enhance sustainability and transparency while fostering collaboration in the industry. The mission of Re-Quip is to unite the maritime and offshore supply chain to accelerate circular solutions and maximize reuse, expanding its carbon handprint while reducing its footprint:

Re-Quip Foundation aims to drive climate impact by strong collaboration across the value chain in the maritime and offshore industry. We expand the sector’s carbon handprint by exploring, sharing and promoting circular solutions through strong collaboration across the value chain, conserving valuable resources, maximizing reuse within Europe, and applying the principles of the R-ladder. Together, we accelerate tangible change, shifting from minimizing harm to creating positive, regenerative impact, and enabling a resilient, sustainable future.

The initiators, supporters and associations of Re-Quip Foundation believe that sustainability in the maritime and offshore industry, can be achieved through full supply chain collaboration. Every company, from design to decommissioning, holds the key to reducing its footprint, expanding its handprint, and unlocking circular value. By finding common values and applying the R-ladder principles, we can build a climate-positive, future-proof, and economically resilient sector.

Imagine the possibilities and benefits for our industry and our environment if we rethink the use of equipment in innovative ways. We’re convinced it’s at our fingertips when we combine forces!

HOW WE WORK

We aim to realise this vision through dedicated working groups, where professionals from supporting companies and associations combine their expertise, from technical innovations to operational insights. This collaborative approach creates practical, scalable solutions that benefit the entire offshore energy sector. The working groups focus on key areas essential for a more sustainable and circular future for offshore equipment:

• Online marketplace
• Circularity measurements
• Entity & governance
• Finance
• Intellectual property
• Marketing & communication
• Events
• Sales
• Innovation (brain tank)

Each group brings together professionals from across the industry, combining diverse expertise and perspectives to develop practical, collaborative solutions. If you’re interested in the work of Re-Quip Foundation and would like to contribute by supporting one of these groups, we would be happy to welcome you as a supporting company.
