One Ocean Foundation is proud to announce its dual role in the Earthshot Prize 2025, the world’s premier platform for environmental impact. The Foundation has not only been selected as an Official Nominator, entrusted with identifying groundbreaking solutions to the planet’s most urgent challenges, but has also been recognized as a nominee for its pioneering Blue Economy project, the Ocean Disclosure Initiative (ODI).

This dual recognition highlights One Ocean Foundation's role in fostering impactful, science-based solutions for a sustainable future.

The Ocean Disclosure Initiative: a game-changer for ocean sustainability

The nomination stems from the Ocean Disclosure Initiative, a pioneering framework designed to address the critical need for corporate action and transparency on ocean-related sustainability. By combining scientific rigor with an ESG-oriented (Environmental, Social, and Governance) approach, the ODI:

• Supports businesses in identifying, preventing, and mitigating their impacts on marine ecosystems.

• Promotes the standardization of ocean sustainability indicators.

• Encourages corporate transparency through robust disclosure and reporting mechanisms.

The ODI engages a wide network of stakeholders, aiming to raise awareness and inspire meaningful, measurable actions to protect the ocean.

One Ocean Foundation's role as official nominator

As an Official Nominator, One Ocean Foundation is part of a global network tasked with identifying the most transformative solutions across the five Earthshot categories:

• Protect & Restore Nature

• Clean Our Air

• Revive Our Oceans

• Build a Waste-Free World

• Fix Our Climate

This responsibility underscores the Foundation’s ability to recognize and elevate projects that can make a lasting impact on the environment.
