We envision a world free of plastic bags and where the young generation are empowered to take action. Our mission is to empower people to do what is right through education, campaigns, and political meetings. Start making that difference one bag at a time.

We’re a community dedicated to the protection of oceans, waves, beaches and wildlife. We fight long and hard to protect what we love and we won’t stop until it’s completely clean, safe and protected for everyone, forever. From humble beginnings in Porthtowan Village Hall in 1990, we’ve stayed close to our roots and continue to be based just up the road at our St Agnes HQ where we can keep an eye on the sea.

A grassroots, local nonprofit organization run by a small team of dedicated staff and supported by passionate volunteers, just like you! We inspire local communities to care for their coastlines through fun, hands- on beach cleanups. We also coordinate educational programs, team building corporate cleanups, waste diversion services, public awareness campaigns and we help others organize their own beach cleanups.

The Green Sports Alliance is an environmentally-focused trade organization that convenes stakeholders from around the sporting world (teams, leagues, conferences, venues, corporate partners, governmental agencies, athletes, and fans) to promote healthy, sustainable communities where we live and play. The Green Sports Alliance is committed to creating awareness and dedicated to creating meaningful change towards a more sustainable future.  They share resources, experience, and expertise to raise awareness of what’s environmentally possible in sports, business, and society. They mobilize sports organizations, communities, athletes, and fans to create sustainable progress and behavior change.

Building on a history of social and environmental value at the roots of the game, golf is poised to emerge as a leader in sustainable sport and business. In many ways, from ecosystem services and conservation of wildlife, to health and well-being for all ages, to jobs and economic value through local supply chains, golf is good for nature and communities. Following years of research and professional expertise, the industry is in a new phase of activity working to collectively and credibly represent its contribution while also pledging to do more and more. This effort is delivered in partnership with GEO Foundation, the international non-profit dedicated entirely to providing a credible and practical sustainability system for golf.

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is an international non-governmental organization founded in 1961, working in the field of wilderness preservation, and the reduction of human impact on the environment.  It was formerly named the World Wildlife Fund, which remains its official name in Canada and the United States. WWF is the world's largest conservation organization with over five million supporters worldwide, working in more than 100 countries, supporting around 3000 conservation and environmental projects.

The Carbon Trust are an expert partner for businesses, governments and organisations around the world – supporting them in realising ambitious plans for a sustainable, low carbon future.  They consider that environmental sustainability and economic prosperity can go hand-in-hand.

The Carbon Trust certified Envision Virgin Racing (Formula E Team) carbon neutral in August 2020.

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system, and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment. UNEP mission is to provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.

The CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project) is an organisation based in the United Kingdom which supports companies and cities to disclose the environmental impact of major corporations.

It aims to make environmental reporting and risk management a business norm, and drive disclosure, insight and action towards a sustainable economy.
Since 2002 over 8,400 companies have publicly disclosed environmental information through CDP.

CDP piggybacked on GRI's concept of environmental disclosure in 2002, focusing on individual companies rather than on nations.
At the time CDP had just 35 investors signing its request for climate information and 245 companies responding.

Today, nearly a fifth of global greenhouse gas emissions are reported through CDP

The Dow Chemical Company is a chemical corporation among the three largest chemical producers in the world.
Dow manufactures plastics, chemicals, and agricultural products.

Dow combines the power of sport and science with the power of collaboration to catalyze action on climate change and help build a sustainable future. Our strategic partnerships with organizations from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to International Sports Federations advance best-in-class technologies and deliver sustainability gains to society. Sport is our starting point. A sustainable future is our destination.

In 2017, Dow was appointed the Official Carbon Partner of the International Olympic Committee(IOC). As a result, Dow has developed a collaborative carbon mitigation program using the power of science and the platform of sport to balance the operational carbon footprint of the IOC and bring societal benefits.

Since then, Dow has been working with customers, value chain partners and industry leaders to introduce innovative carbon projects in the Built Environment, Packaging, and Manufacturing & Energy sectors that are focused on accelerated adoption of existing low carbon solutions.

Our Impact Since 2014
Dow has a rich legacy in the world of sports. Dow was the Official Carbon Partner of the Organizing Committees of the Olympic Games Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016 and is now not only a Worldwide Partner and the Official Chemistry Company of the Olympic Movement but also the Official Carbon Partner of the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

In these roles, Do has brought materials science expertise, technologies and science-based solutions to develop and implement carbon mitigation programs and deliver climate benefits that extend the program's reach and influence globally.

To date, the cumulative GHG reductions from Dow’s three carbon programs, which include Sochi 2014, Rio 2016 and the IOC programs, have reached more than 5 million tonnes of CO2e. By 2026, the programs are expected to exceed 6 million tonnes in CO2 reductions.

• Dow’s Olympic Carbon Program Report – 2018 Edition
• Dow’s Rio-2016 Carbon Program Report – 2016 Edition

Within these reports, we describe Dow’s efforts to build capacity, drive change and achieve the adoption of low-carbon technologies. We hope the lessons learnt will provide actionable advice to organizations across sectors to help build effective partnerships and accelerate the introduction of more sustainable technologies globally.

Sustainable Future Programs: The Triple Win Opportunity
Collaborating in new and meaningful ways is essential for the transition to a sustainable society. Through our “Leading the Blueprint” 2025 Sustainability Goal, Dow is focused on developing collaborative blueprints that integrate public policy solutions, science and technology, and value chain innovation.

Our Sustainable Future programs are designed to support sustainability strategies of partners and create a positive and lasting legacy, while also offering a collaborative blueprint that others can follow.

We leverage Dow’s broad technology portfolio in applications that have the potential to generate significant long-term climate benefits including:

• Enabling a Low-Carbon Future
• Advancing a Circular Economy
• Enhancing the Built Environment

The Dow Climate Solutions Framework
Our Sustainable Future programs follow the principles outlined in Dow’s Climate Solutions Framework.

Dow has created an innovative Climate Solutions Framework to encourage wider adoption of technologies and activities to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Originally developed for events, the Framework allows organizations, in collaboration with industry partners, to implement a structured, yet flexible, approach to quantify and offset the impacts of their activities while also leaving a positive legacy through the adoption of innovative low-carbon technologies. Incorporating existing best practices in GHG measurement and reporting, The Framework takes a rigorous approach to the development of a portfolio of GHG mitigation projects.
