Sea Cleaners

As an island nation, we see the damage pollution has to our oceans every day. That’s why we are proud to support Sea Cleaners – a non-profit organisation that has managed to remove 5.6 million litres of rubbish from the sea in its 15 years of existence. Our partnership started in 2017, and this year Platform’s own Mark Clough will be on the board of executives.
