Corporate Responsibility

Helping to build you ocean responsibility

Oceanogami is connecting organizations to the ocean by developing their marine corporate responsibility initiatives. This can include educating through courses, building the capacity and skills to take action through workshops, and even hands-on involvement through beach clean-ups and citizen science activities. Our goal is to help companies meet the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal #14, as well as other related SDGs along the way. We achieve these goals by engaging the public, finding solutions through research, and developing strategies for sustainable use of the marine environment.

With partners in Catalonia and overseas, we have access to a broad network of experts and sustainability organizations. Utilizing this, we organize awareness campaigns, team-building immersive experiences, workshops, and talks, in order to create awareness and find solutions for marine environmental problems (plastics, pollution, overfishing, climate change). We collaborate with organizations such as the Asociación Ambiente Europeo when engaging with companies to find tailored approaches to corporate sustainability.

Current Projects

Oceanogami has a wide variety of projects, all focused on protecting our ocean and making it more accessible and sustainable for everyone. Check out some of our current initiatives below:

RSC-Mar: Corporate responsibility in the Barcelona coastal region

In partnership with:

Marine waste and plastics are one of the biggest current environmental problems that are affecting the marine biodiversity in the Catalan coast. Therefore, it is important to build a marine environmental responsibility to conserve our oceans and biodiversity.

To raise awareness about this problem, we seek to build marine environmental responsibility campaigns and promote education about Barcelona’s marine biodiversity in the corporate sector. We believe it is important to find personalized solutions for each organization to improve the environmental responsibility of companies and employees. We offer activities to develop the marine environmental responsibility of your company, as well as increase team cohesion by carrying out environmental responsibility work such as collecting plastics in the sea and beach.

Our objectives are:

To develop corporate marine environmental responsibility through various training activities and experiences
To sensitize and make people aware of the problem of marine waste, as well as to find solutions to promote recycling and circular economy
To generate a team connection
To approach and contribute to the recycling and reuse of waste through artistic recycling
To critically assess human intervention in the environment and adopt behaviors that favor the protection of the natural environment
To promote knowledge about the great biodiversity of local beaches
