PGA Partner 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.
"Every business we come into contact with as consumers uses natural resources," explained Ed Sandison, Founder of OCEANTEE. "As well as purchasing from the organisations who use the planet’s resources sustainably, we all need to support non-for-profit organisations delivering exceptional environmental projects around the world that are recovering damage that has already taken place.
"If all businesses commit to contributing just 1% of their sales, we can collectively begin to make a significant impact."
The funds given to the Marine Conservation Society will contribute towards their mission to recover the health of the ocean. 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.
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.
