6: SELF-Sustainable: Project Ocean

In 2011 Selfridges launched Project Ocean – a landmark campaign using the power of retail to help protect our precious oceans. In the nine years since it started, Selfridges has done everything from being the first retailer to ban single-use plastic water and carbonated drinks bottles, to setting up a 50-hectare marine reserve in the Philippines. In this episode of SELF-Sustainable, we look at the past, present and future of Project Ocean – including an exciting new announcement – as well as what we can all do to make some waves ourselves.  Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.

If you want to feel hopeful about the future, just ask children what kind of world they would like to see. Their imagination knows no bounds, and their playful curiosity can be a refreshing change from the doom and gloom often foreseen by adults.  

For our SUPERFUTURES: What if…? podcast we will be tapping into that sense of wonder, exploring what it’s like to dream bigger and bolder for what lies ahead. Hosted by Natty Kasambala, we’ll be speaking with people who are tackling some of our greatest challenges in ways only children could have imagined, to make the world a better place for everyone.
