MotherOceanBlue offers businesses a structured, credible and genuinely impactful ocean partnership, built for organisations that want their CSR to mean something.
"Attenborough shows us what's broken. MotherOceanBlue teaches you what can be done about it."
The ocean covers 71% of our planet. It is the world's largest carbon sink, produces more than half our oxygen and underpins the food systems of billions. It is also the most consistently underfunded area of climate action, and the most absent from corporate sustainability strategies.
Most sustainability programmes focus on reducing harm. MotherOceanBlue focuses on building understanding, in schools, in businesses and in the science that informs both.
Corporate responsibility done well isn't about optics. It's about creating demonstrable, lasting change in the areas that need it most. The ocean needs it most.
Most CSR programmes are a transaction. Ours is a journey. MotherOceanBlue offers businesses a structured five-stage partnership, from an in-house education workshop, through sponsoring a school programme, to connecting your team directly with marine conservation in the field. Each stage builds on the last. Each one is measurable, credible and genuinely impactful.
Start here. Zakia delivers a tailored workshop for your team, exploring the science of the ocean, the scale of Earth's challenges and what your organisation can do to be part of the solution. Practical, engaging and grounded in real conservation science.
Fund the Ocean Academy in a school of your choice. Your business sponsors a full programme for a cohort of students, giving them the climate and ocean literacy their curriculum doesn't. Your name attached to something lasting.
Go further. We work with marine scientists and conservation organisations worldwide and can connect your team directly with specific, verified projects in the field, as a donation or an experience.
Give your team a direct role. MotherOceanBlue connects businesses with hands-on conservation opportunities, from beach cleans and marine habitat surveys to working alongside scientists in the field. Real engagement. Documented impact.
The deepest commitment. Fund specific marine science research or conservation projects through the MOB Funding Hub, independently verified and free from fossil fuel influence. Your investment properly accounted for, with your name on published data.
Every corporate partner goes through a due diligence process before any partnership is agreed. We will not associate MotherOceanBlue with organisations whose primary business model works against the health of the ocean or planet. That means we will decline partnerships that don't meet our criteria, and we will tell you why.
This is unusual, but we think it's the right way to operate. If you are serious about ocean impact, you will welcome it.
When you pass, and we hope you will, you'll have a partner that stands behind everything it puts its name to.
Businesses of all sizes, working in most sectors, even those new to sustainability: financial services, professional services, hospitality, retail and beyond. We work with organisations at every stage, from first corporate sustainability conversations to well-established CSR and ESG programmes looking for something more meaningful and distinctive.
Tell us about your organisation and the impact you want to make. We'll come back with a proposal you can put in front of your board.
