Join the Wave of Change!
We’re passionate about helping businesses, clubs, and community centres reduce single-use plastics and embrace more sustainable practices. We recognise and celebrate organisations that are making real changes to protect our oceans, beaches, and the planet.
At the Final Straw Foundation, we believe that working together is key to reducing marine pollution and promoting a more sustainable future. Businesses and organisations of all sizes can play a vital role in protecting our oceans, and we’re always keen to collaborate with like-minded partners who share our values.
Whether your aim is to enhance your ESG and CSR credentials, support the Sustainable Development Goals, or simply contribute to positive environmental change, we offer a number of ways to get involved, like:
