The Baltic Sea Commitment is a long-term partnership model for companies and organisations that are committed to developing their own operations for the benefit of the Baltic Sea. It is particularly suited to businesses whose value chains have a significant impact on the Baltic Sea, for example through agriculture and food systems, maritime transport or forestry. 

Every Baltic Sea Commitment includes a corporate donation, the amount of which is agreed individually. If you are interested in exploring a Baltic Sea Commitment, our experts would be happy to discuss the opportunity with you. 

Sharing your donation through your company’s own channels is an excellent way to highlight your company’s values and sustainability commitments. After making a donation, you’ll receive a communications toolkit with Baltic Sea-themed images and other ready-to-use materials for social media, your website and other communications.    

For significant donations, we will also seek opportunities to feature the partnership in our own communications together with the donor company. 

If you would like to discuss joint communications or other ways of highlighting your support, our fundraising team will be happy to help.

Your company’s donation enables long-term, science-based work to improve the condition of the Baltic Sea. Our work has already delivered tangible results. We have advanced more sustainable environmental practices in shipping, and our advocacy contributed to legislative changes that banned cargo ships from discharging wastewater into the sea within Finland’s territorial waters. We have also pioneered regenerative agriculture in Finland, protected more than 5,000 hectares of valuable marine habitats, and developed solutions that reduce the impacts of forestry on water systems. 

By donating, your company supports solutions that create lasting benefits across the entire Baltic Sea region.
