The Saltee Ocean Pledge

  • Saltee Approved Wave Maker

    Where Good Brands Meet Great Impact

    Brands Doing Good Things in Good Company
    One Ocean. Small Actions. Big Waves of Change.

    We aren’t just talking about it; we’re taking real action on ocean plastic to ensure our oceans stay wild and clean.

    Take the Pledge & Join the Movement

  • Life Below Water

    Working towards the United Nations Sustainability Development Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.

  • The Saltee Criteria

    Backed by action. Aligned with global goals.

    Every brand we spotlight is part of a bigger purpose to reduce harm, restore ocean health, and rethink consumption.

  • Good Brands. Good Company. Clean Oceans.

    Businesses aligned with The Saltee Life demonstrate:

    1. Commitment to local and sustainable sourcing

    2. Elimination of single-use plastics

    3. Active participation in ocean recovery through cleanup or funding.

Dive In & Leave less behind

  • Refuse. Reuse. Recyle. Repeat.

    I refuse what I don’t need, refill when I can, reuse what’s available, and recycle where possible because every choice makes waves.

  • Local, Sustainable Dining & Shopping

    I pledge to eat and shop locally, supporting producers, maker, and venues that protect the ocean.

  • Zero Single-Use Plastic

    I pledge to live single-use plastic free, refusing straws, bags, bottles, and packaging I don’t need. I will always dispose of my waste correctly. Not in the ocean. Not in the street.

  • Eco-Friendly Practices

    I pledge to reduce my environmental footprint by choosing to walk, ride a bike, or use transport wherever I can.

  • Untrash the Ocean

    I pledge to pick up rubbish every time I visit the beach or surrounds because small actions avoid ocean pollution and make big waves of change.

  • Give Wildlife Space

    I pledge to observe animals from a distance, and never feed, touch, or disturb them.

  • Respect the Local Neighbourhood

    I pledge to honour the places I visit by being kind, quiet, clean, and considerate.

  • Leave What I Find Behind

    I pledge to take only memories and photos.

  • Plan Ahead & Prepare

    I pledge to research, pack responsibly, and stay informed to ensure my travels are both safe and sustainable.

  • Locally Sourced Living

    Whether it’s eating, drinking, or staying, I pledge to prioritise local products that tread lightly on the earth and respect the ocean.

  • Support Eco & Sustainable Tourism

    I pledge to choose tours, stays, and experiences that protect ecosystems, support local livelihoods, and give back to communities.

  • Conserve Resources

    I pledge to respect the precious resources we share by using only what I need: food, water, power, fuel.
