As part of SodaStream's long-time mission to reduce single-use plastic waste
and stopping it from ending up in the sea, SodaStream has partnered with SEE
Turtles, an NGO that works to protect sea turtles worldwide. Sea turtles are
key species in the oceans and without them, the natural order in the ocean may
be disrupted. Through this initiative, SodaStream commits* to saving a baby sea
turtle for every SodaStream sparkling water maker sold worldwide during the
month of April.
"As part of SodaStream's environmental responsibility and obligation to the
planet, we are always looking for ways to do better", commented SodaStream's
Global CMO, Karin Schifter-Maor. "This year we took another step in this
direction with our biggest Earth Day campaign to date, which will last for the
entire month of April, so at SodaStream we are actually celebrating "Earth
Month." With this 360° campaign, we are engaging people to not only keep the
oceans clean from single-use plastic waste, but also giving them the
opportunity to save endangered baby sea turtles around the world."
"I am honored to work with SodaStream on their commitment to protecting the
environment by calling attention to the threat to sea turtles and our beaches.
This is a cause that I deeply believe in. I hope that we will raise worldwide
attention about this urgent issue. I am thrilled to be part of this wonderful
initiative. SodaStream Rocks!" said David Hasselhoff. "SodaStream's Earth Day
Campaign will be crucial in helping to address world attention about the
importance of ensuring the survival of the globe. Each of us needs to do our
part in contributing to a sustainable world. Our individual contributions will
help to collectively add-up to building a strong foundation to reverse the
looming threat. Silence is not an option".
"SEE Turtles is thrilled to be working with SodaStream to save baby sea turtles
around the world and encourage less plastic waste", mentioned SEE Turtle's CEO,
Brad Nahill. "Through our Billion Baby Turtles program, these funds will help
community-based conservation programs at more than 20 important nesting beaches
in 16 countries."
*By contributing proceeds from each and every sparkling water maker sold
worldwide to SEE Turtles
Other company actions for this Earth Day:
SodaStream is standing by its commitment from last Earth Day to save 78 billion
single-use plastic bottles by 2025.
In additional support to this broad campaign, SodaStream launches a
one-of-a-kind AR experience, in which everyone can save their own personalized
virtual baby sea turtle, and help it reach the ocean safely. David Hasselhoff
was the first to take part in this unique encounter.
Finally, SodaStream is encouraging its employees all around the globe to
further their personal commitment to the planet by providing opportunities to
volunteer, educate, and promote sustainable values to younger generations.
