B Corps are a community of companies who are committed to using business as a force for good. As leaders of this global movement, B Corp brands look beyond profits to support social and environmental goals. 

To become B Corp certified, our business was assessed for its impact on our workers, community, customers, and the environment. Meeting the highest standards, we are committed to supporting the positive impact we’re making by remaining transparent and considering all of our stakeholders in every decision we make. 

Being plastic-neutral means that for any amount of plastic we use in our operations, a measured equivalent of plastic waste is recovered and removed from the environment through recycling and/or waste management efforts.

Ocean’s chose to work with Cleanhub, a company that collects and repurposes plastic before it enters the ocean. Through Cleanhub, Ocean’s partnered with Tridi Oasis in 2021 and 2022, and currently with ecoBali to help clean our oceans.

Committed to transparency, we can trace information on all our products throughout the supply chain. 

We work with IPNLF to support livelihoods in coastal communities throughout the world, providing jobs, nutrition, and a model to sustain tuna fisheries and the marine environment. For many coastal communities, one-by-one fishing methods provide an opportunity to develop a profitable and socially responsible domestic fishery sector, while supporting employment, food security, traditional cultures and livelihoods. 

We know that working conditions and standards around the world vary. All our suppliers adhere to a strict code of conduct and undergo social audits that ensure they treat their employees properly. 

Ocean’s has joined the Seafood Task Force (STF), an industry-led collaboration that brings transparency and oversight to seafood supply chains. Focused on addressing forced labour and human trafficking through traceability and accountability, STF promotes decent work for employees who fish, farm, and produce seafood. 

Ghost gear refers to any fishing gear that has been abandoned, lost or otherwise discarded, and is the most harmful form of marine debris. The cause is rarely intentional and more often because of severe weather, snags under the surface, or a collision with other gear or boats. Regardless, World Animal Protection says ghost gear is found in every sea and ocean on the planet.

Every year 640,000 tons of gear is lost or left in our oceans (that’s as heavy as two Empire State Buildings!) making it one of the biggest threats to our marine life today.

Through our partnership with the Global Ghost Gear Initiative, we are helping solve the problem of lost and abandoned fishing gear worldwide. Co-founder Ben Kneppers says ‘GGGI has become the global hub for understanding the problem and then taking the action to end it. The value of members coming from a variety of areas enables us to create a multi-pronged approach with a proven track record that is creating real positive change.’
