Corporate image through sustainable marine conservation projects

It’s an alarming fact: over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. This amount of marine plastic not only causes serious damage to marine flora and fauna, but also has an impact on human health.

In this context, sustainable corporate governance plays a crucial role in demonstrating responsibility and helping to overcome this crisis.

Companies that operate sustainably are seen as future-proof on the market and are also perceived positively by their employees.

Marine plastic: the scale of the problem

The annual pollution of our oceans by millions of tons of plastic has far-reaching consequences for marine animals and human communities.

Overfishing, pollution and climate change are threatening marine ecosystems and affecting economic sectors such as fishing and tourism.

Threats to marine ecosystems

Plastic pollution has a negative impact on the entire marine ecosystem.

Every year, millions of marine animals die from plastic, which they mistake for food.

The impact of plastic in the sea on people and the economy

An immense economic burden results from the pollution of the oceans, which drives up the costs of tourism and fishing. Local communities experience a loss of jobs and income.

Innovative companies see marine plastic-related initiatives as an opportunity to strengthen their resilience and competitiveness and to operate sustainably. They contribute to the creation of new jobs and at the same time strengthen the environment and social structures in affected regions.

The removal of marine plastic and its recycling not only creates a cleaner environment, but also opens up new business models and market niches.

Cooperation in the context of CSR activities considerably strengthens a company’s reputation and the trust of its customers.

Clean oceans mean a revival of marine life, which has a positive impact on fish stocks, biodiversity and ultimately human health.

By integrating ecological, economic and social aspects into all business processes, companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and strengthen their corporate social responsibility (CSR).

  • Recycling projects: Develop sustainable products that improve your market position
  • Educational campaigns: Increase customer engagement by raising awareness
  • Partnerships with NGOs: maximize the effectiveness of your CSR activities

  • Bonus system for environmentally friendly actions: Reward employees for their sustainable commitment
  • Marine plastic training: raise awareness and knowledge
  • Internal platform for sustainability initiatives: Promote the exchange among employees
  • Time off for voluntary work: Support the commitment to marine plastic recycling
