This high-level roundtable marks the official launch of the « Business in Ocean » initiative, bringing together companies from diverse sectors which have committed to driving systemic change in the Ocean while remaining competitive.
It will highlight corporate engagement and support for ambitious ocean protection goals that could serve as the starting point for a “blue ambition loop”. Through a call to action, the initiative will enable companies to take stock of the situation and the challenges faced by the Ocean, define priorities of actions to accelerate their commitments in favor of the ocean, and urge policy makers to establish ambitious, science-driven policies to stimulate business action."
