MARY KAY MAKES SPLASH ON WOMEN LEADERSHIP OCEAN CONSERVATION



KUALA LUMPUR, March 23 (Bernama) -- Mary Kay Inc continues to play an important role in ocean conservation by recently participating at the 10th World Ocean Summit and Expo 2023 in Lisbon, Portugal, organised by Economist Impact.

The participation followed Mary Kay launch of groundbreaking, user-friendly platform offering valuable guidance, decision-support tools and practical knowledge for marine practitioners, in February.

At the Summit, Mary Kay, a global advocate for corporate sustainability highlighted the importance of women’s leadership and private sector engagement in conservation.

“The ocean is critical for the livelihoods of billions of people, and we all have a role to play in ocean conservation and a sustainable ocean economy.

“Mary Kay supports women's empowerment in all facets of life and business, including the health of our planet,” said Mary Kay Portugal General Manager, Sandra Silva emphasising the importance of ocean conservation.

According to a statement, Mary Kay has been working to elevate ocean health and coral reef awareness through its partnership with The Nature Conservancy for over 32 years.

One of the key projects that the beauty brand supports is called "Super Reefs”, which identifies, protects and grows a global network of highly resilient coral reefs that can survive in a warming ocean.

The World Ocean Initiative transforms the momentum and focal point of the World Ocean Summit into a year-round programme on the ocean that powers the full capabilities of Economist Impact, combining the ingenuity of a think-tank with the creativity of a media brand to engage a globally influential audience.

The World Ocean Summit is an annual global event that brings together the widest cross-section of the ocean community, from business and finance to governments, national and international policymakers, civil society and academia.

Over 1,500 attendees from more than 100 countries attended the three-day summit, where 188 speakers addressed some of the most pressing challenges facing the ocean, such as climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.
