The Board consists of six women who are uniquely breaking barriers in ocean conservation – from marine biology, to art and photography, to surfing.
Now, with the goal of enabling more women to be a part of the solution in protecting the ocean, Venus is forming the brand’s first Board of Trust-Seas. In fact, according to a study conducted by Oceanography Magazine, while men and women enroll in undergraduate and graduate programs in oceanography in equal numbers, only 15% of senior faculty positions across 26 US institutions were held by women.** While climate change is a universal issue, a recent report by the United Nations found women globally are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than men due to social, economic, and cultural factors.* However, women are not often positioned to help lead effective change. In addition, Venus has introduced paper packaging and durable, metal razor handles to help make each shave more sustainable. Last year, Venus partnered with We Are One Ocean to launch the global organization’s 30X30 initiative, a petition that calls on world leaders to preserve 30 percent of the global ocean by 2030. Venus is continuing the brand’s commitment to sustainability by taking steps to help preserve the ocean. BOSTON-( BUSINESS WIRE)-The ocean serves as the world’s greatest resource and connector, making it vital to protect for generations to come.
