World Ocean Day 2025: Taking daily action to protect a climate ally

Ocean News

On 8 June 2025, take action for the Ocean with Act! with Surfrider. Raise awareness among your teams about marine and climate issues through our corporate CSR activities.

The Ocean: climate regulator and key to our future

A fundamental role in addressing climate change

The Ocean absorbs around 25% of the CO₂ released by human activity each year and captures over 90% of the excess heat caused by global warming. It helps mitigate the intensity of climate change. Yet this buffering capacity is under pressure from plastic pollution, acidification, and declining biodiversity.

Interconnected environmental impacts


Land-based pollution—waste, runoff, emissions—often ends up in the sea. Even companies located far from the coast bear responsibility: reducing emissions, managing resources, ensuring digital sobriety, selecting responsible suppliers… Each decision can help protect aquatic environments.

World Ocean Day: what can companies do?


Awareness-raising actions rooted in reality


Today, companies have many ways to engage their teams in protecting the Ocean. Act! with Surfrider offers educational formats tailored to diverse audiences and organisations:

Embedding these actions into a consistent CSR approach


These activities can be integrated throughout the year (Sustainable Development Week, Biodiversity Day, internal seminars…). They offer an effective way to strengthen an organisation’s CSR culture.

Making the Ocean a central pillar of CSR strategy
