'Sailors witness that plastic is everywhere in the seas far out away from our shores. And that's only the visible part of the problem. Plastic breaks down into smaller pieces and now it's in the fish, the birds and in us humans, too. It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, the oceans are our life support system and we can contribute each in our own way. We aim to spread the message and inspire citizens, business and government to bring about a change together' concludes Bill Law.

Environmental care is at the heart of what Volvo stands for and Ocean Summits puts the light on the future of our oceans.
