OCEANTEE contributes to planet-saving environmental project
OCEANTEE makes 1% for the Planet donation.
OCEANTEE, the sustainable golf brand, has made its first 1% for the Planet donation since signing up to become a member of the global network earlier this year.
The majority of the donation, which represents 1% of the company’s turnover, has been allocated to OCEANTEE’s long-term charity partner the Marine Conservation Society.
1% for the Planet is a network of businesses, individuals and non-profit organisations collaborating to tackle the planet’s most pressing environmental issues.
When Yvon Chouinard founded 1% for the Planet with Craig Matthews, he described it as a rent for the use of the planet that all businesses should be paying as Ed Sandison, Founder of OCEANTEE explains.
Sandison said:
The funds that the Marine Conservation Society has been given will contribute towards their mission to recover the health of the ocean. The ocean covers over 70% of our planet, provides more than half the oxygen we breathe, and absorbs nearly a third of our carbon emissions.
By 2030, the charity is calling for a third of our seas to be truly protected, so nature can recover; ocean pollution levels to show a clear downward trend and for fish stocks to be at sustainable levels.
Anne Weinhold, Corporate Partnerships Team Lead, said:
OCEANTEE continues to bring sustainability to the fore in the golf world by working in collaboration with Tours and governing bodies.
The OCEANTEE product range includes Drinks Bottles, Men’s and Women’s clothing and Caps as well as its ground-breaking bamboo tee range.
All can be bought directly online at www.oceanteegolf.com.
Andy first joined the brand on a month's work experience back in April 2011, and he now assumes the Editor role. When Andy joined GolfMagic it was a small site with potential.
