SHISEIDO to renew its global sustainability partnership with WSL, the global home of surfing

The prestige brand SHISEIDO*, which currently markets in 88 countries and regions around the world, will renew its contract with World Surf League (WSL), the global home of surfing, as its Global Sustainability Partner. Since 2019, SHISEIDO has been working to protect oceans and support awareness campaigns together with the WSL and WSL PURE, the WSL's non-profit organization, aiming to realize a more beautiful ocean. Last year, SHISEIDO delivered the We Are One Ocean petition to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity, calling on world leaders to protect and conserve 30% of the global ocean by 2030. Following this, the brand will continue to enhance its ocean protection activities in 2022. In the Championship Tour events hosted by WSL around the world (a total of 11 events), SHISEIDO will work together with local communities and NGOs to implement activities including beach clean-ups, beach planting, and coral reef protection.
