Supporting our charity partner - Plastic Oceans UK
Acre has partnered with Plastic Oceans UK since 2017 to support their mission and expansion. We do so via fundraising and pro-bono recruitment support. They work with businesses, scientists, schools and policy-makers to change attitudes and behaviours towards plastic. Find out more at www.plasticoceans.uk.
"More than 8 million tonnes of plastic enter the ocean each year, and our addiction to single-use is to blame. It’s not an option to let that statistic worsen. Join us in moving the needle today".
