Brother Partnership with ‘Clean Ocean Action’ for Sustainability Efforts
12 April 2022: Brother International Corporation has announced its new partnership along with a series of Corporate Social Responsibility activities and Environmental Action across the organization – thus strengthening local and global efforts to fight climate change.
Brother is announcing a new partnership with Clean Ocean Action, a leading national and regional voice working to protect waterways using science. This includes sponsorship of two Covid-compliant beach sweeps events open to the public of New Jersey and a Virtual Lunch and Learn hosted by a Clean Ocean Action representative on Earth Day available to all Brother employees to learn more about protecting our oceans.
In addition, on Earth Day, Brother employees will be making their annual “Brother Earth Promise” an individual commitment to help protect the environment, such as addressing pollution by recycling and cutting their use of single-use plastics, amongst other efforts.
“I am proud to see Brother employees rally around our environmental activities and Brother Earth Promise, and I am thrilled to see a collective effort to address the urgent global climate change crisis across our organization,” said Don Cummins, President, Brother International Corporation. “While we think globally, we must also act locally, and our sponsorship of Clean Ocean Action activities in New Jersey will help ensure that our own shores are free from ocean plastics and pollution.”
Brother’s partnership with Clean Ocean Action builds on Brother’s existing flagship environmental programs such as their Recycling Program for printers and ink cartridges, employee volunteer activities supporting the Friends of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge in New Jersey for the past ten years, a long-standing sponsorship of the Wolf River Conservancy Restoration Series that includes lectures and volunteer events to restore the Wolf River in West Tennessee and an annual $25,000 donation to the Arbor Day Foundation in support of their mission to plant, nurture and celebrate trees.
