Ocean champions raising awareness of the ocean
From athletes to philanthropists to ocean advocates, we share an ambition to raise awareness on how to protect the ocean.
Our partnerships
Ocean Risk and Resilience Action Alliance (ORRAA)
We were the first bank to be a full member of ORRAA and this allowed us to deep-dive into the pressures the ocean is experiencing. Together, we aim to encourage global action in creating a sustainable blue economy and we will continue our work to scale up private investment in marine and coastal nature-based solutions.
