World Ocean Council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Green Marine, formalising an already strong working relationship between the organisations and their complementary efforts on industry environmental sustainability and ocean health.

The MoU serves as a framework for collaboration on the shared objective of catalysing improved environmental performance in the maritime industry.

Business leadership alliance

WOC’s mission as the global business leadership alliance for Corporate Ocean Responsibility is based on partnerships with organisations,” said CEO Paul Holthus.

World Ocean Council and Green Marine will work together to create more awareness for initiatives

This agreement is a solid step forward in developing the network of organisations with the shared goal of protecting the marine environment and addressing climate change through more responsible ocean industry operations.” Through their partnership, World Ocean Council and Green Marine will work together to create more awareness for initiatives and more opportunities for maritime sector participation.

Marine environment protection

This includes cross-promotion of each organisation’s programs to their relevant networks, sharing information with potential members, and collaborating on marine environment protection and preservation initiatives through the exchange of technical expertise, best environmental practices, and other information.

This agreement is so timely with the recent establishment of the Green Marine Europe label,” said David Bolduc, Green Marine’s Executive Director. “It will allow us to investigate strategic opportunities to expand Green Marine’s presence beyond North America and Europe in collaboration with the WOC’s global presence and platform. The primary objective is to bolster each other’s efforts for cleaner oceans.”
