Supporting Our Charity Partner - Ocean Generation
Acre has partnered with Ocean Generation (Formally known as Plastic Oceans UK) since 2017 to support their mission and expansion. We do so via fundraising and pro-bono recruitment support. Ocean Generation is empowering an inclusive global movement to tackle Ocean threats through science and storytelling. Find out more at: www.oceangeneration.org
“We see a world where the Ocean is freed from human threats within a generation. Our ultimate goal is to restore a healthy relationship between humanity and the Ocean. Because as the first generation to deeply understand Ocean issues, we are also the last generation who can stop them. We are all the Ocean Generation.”

Accursed Mountains Fundraising Climb
The Acre Foundation is Acre's charitable arm, with a focus on making an impact on people, communities and the environment. In October 2019, 12 Acre employees travelled to Kosovo, Albania and Montenegro, to trek The Accursed Mountain range to raise money for Ocean Generation (formerly, Plastic Oceans UK). This video captures the team throughout their 4-day journey.
