Our commitment with oceancare
Plastic pollution in the oceans is a serious environmental problem that is having a global impact on ocean ecosystems. Until the start of the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge 2021, we were only aware of this problem from the media. On our rowing trip, which lasted almost 35 days, we saw heaps of rubbish every day and we realised that we needed to take action. That's why we support OceanCare.
As the SWISS RAW association, we are a non-profit organisation and donate all the proceeds from the 2025 Pacific crossing to OceanCare.
