Corporate sustainability & marine protection. Corporate sustainability is an added value for the entire community

The conference focuses on the crucial role of the connection between corporate sustainability and the importance of protecting the seas, our greatest ally in the fight against climate change. Therefore, it is a vector of well-being and security for society and the individuals who compose it, and it underlines how a sustainable approach can generate added value for both companies and communities. The positive impact of projects aimed at preserving the health of the seas and the ecosystems that inhabit them is a vehicle for economic development; moreover, companies must intervene as protagonists. Sea the Change proposes itself as a sustainability partner for companies that want to achieve their ESG objectives by protecting the Oceans. In this conference, we will analyze some innovative solutions and case studies.
