    At the World Surf League (WSL), the global home of professional surfing, we take our responsibility to protect our oceans and beaches seriously. We embrace a sustainable ethos and in 2016 founded the nonprofit WSL PURE, which is on a mission to inspire, educate and empower ocean lovers. Additionally, as a leader in sustainability in sports, WSL is a proud participant in, and a 2018 signatory to, the UN Sports for Climate Action Framework.<\/p>\n

    WSL announced a series of sustainability commitments in 2019 that set a new standard for global professional sports: becoming carbon neutral globally; eliminating single-serve plastics at our events; investing in local communities through activations and an annual grant program.<\/p>\n

    We launched a global initiative in 2021 called “We Are One Ocean,” with the goal of bringing people together to care about the issue of ocean conservation and preserve the future of surfing for generations to come. Since the launch of We Are One Ocean, our campaign has brought together people from more than 150 countries and 90 organizations as well as garnering more than 400 million cumulative reach on social media. In November 2021, we delivered our We Are One Ocean petition in the form of a short film to the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity, calling on world leaders to protect and conserve 30 percent of the global ocean by 2030. Our short film received the inaugural Bronze Award through the Anthem Awards for Corporate Social Responsibility and the campaign was amplified in a tweet by Elizabeth Mrema, the Executive Secretary, Convention on Biological Diversity.<\/p>\n

    In 2022, we are working with a number of inspiring organizations to make an impact in spaces around coastal restoration and conservation, reducing plastics and climate change, which tie back to priorities outlined by the UN Decade on Restoration.<\/p>\n
