A manufactura suíça de relojoaria Breitling acvaba de anunciar uma parceria com a Ocean Conservancy, uma organização não-governamental que desde a sua fundação, em 1972, se dedica à luta global por oceanos saudáveis e praias limpas.
Afirmações de Georges Kern, CEO da Breitling: “As global corporate citizens, we are thrilled to be able to support Ocean Conservancy’s mission of maintaining a healthy ocean. The organization has an impressive track record of accomplishment, mobilizing millions in support of healthy beaches, and is passionate in its fight for our ocean, its wildlife, and coastal communities.”
A Breitling passará a ter um papel acvtivo em algumas das iniciativas da Ocean Conservancy, como campanhas em todo o mundo para a limpeza de praias, reciclando o lixo recolhido. Crianças serão convidadas a participar nessas acções.
A CEO da Ocean Conservancy, Janis Searles Jones, disse: “We are excited to be working with Georges and his team at Breitling. Their customers are adventurers who explore every corner of the globe and see the beauty and wonder of the ocean from vantage points that are not easily accessible. Breitling and its customers understand firsthand that a healthy ocean – teeming with life, free of trash and plastic – is critical to life on our incredible, awe-inspiring planet. We look forward to working with them to advance our shared mission of maintaining a healthy ocean.”
A Breitling doará também parte as receitas da venda de uma edição especial limitada do seu modelo Superocean Héritage à organização não-governamental.
Diz Georges Kern: “Our ocean is at risk. Everyone knows it, but the problem sometimes seems so overwhelming that we feel powerless to do anything. Breitling, together with Ocean Conservancy, wants to make it clear that each one of us can play a part – not only for ourselves but for future generations.”
Do comunicado:
Ocean Conservancy has organized tens of thousands of coastal-cleanup operations for more than 30 years in 153 countries. It attracts the support of hundreds of thousands of volunteers and has been responsible for an enormous growth in the public awareness of the pollution of the planet’s ocean and beaches. Since 1986, more than 12 million people have picked up nearly 230 million pounds of trash as part of Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup.
Breitling is one of the world’s most respected watch brands and, while it has built a large part of its reputation on its links to aviation, it has also created some incredible watches for divers, including the Superocean, which was launched more than 60 years ago and remains a vital part of the Breitling collection today.
