KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 19 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc, a global advocate for corporate sustainability and stewardship, has furthered its commitment to securing a healthy and productive ocean by recently joining the United Nations (UN) Global Compact’s Ocean Stewardship Coalition.
The coalition is an effort to bring together the private sector alongside UN agencies, academia, governments and non-governmental organisations to address biodiversity and climate change through a focus on ocean health.
“Nature-based solution projects led by women are revolutionising the way we protect our oceans for future generations.
“By joining the Ocean Stewardship Coalition, Mary Kay hopes to support these projects and inspire additional women to take action in their local communities,” Mary Kay chief operating officer Deborah Gibbins said in a statement.
The Ocean Stewardship Coalition seeks to leverage private sector involvement to increase ocean awareness and develop climate-smart innovation.
It also calls upon stakeholders, including business leaders, to use climate-smart policies to address environmental and climate injustices as well as adopt a human-centred approach to policy solutions.
In alignment with the Sustainable Ocean Principles and the Ocean Stewardship Coalition, Mary Kay has supported several projects this year in partnership with The Nature Conservancy.
This is to improve ocean health through the protection and restoration of critical habitats such as coral reefs, oyster reefs, and coastal wetlands, as well as to advance women’s leadership in conversation.
