WORKING WITH EXPERTS & NGOs TO TAKE CONCRETE ACTIONS FOR OCEAN PRESERVATION SINCE 2012

2030 Goal

We continue to support the United Nation’s 30x30 initiative to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030.

Our concrete actions

Paul Meilhat
Paul Meilhat,
BIOTHERM IMOCA skipper

"From the beginning, we agreed that the Biotherm Racing program has to be about more than sailing. We both want to win, but we also want to have a bigger societal impact. We want to make people more aware of our ocean's issues today. As a sailor, you see the impact of climate change firsthand. The Ocean Race is the perfect moment to launch this research project as the race has put sustainability at its core."

SINCE 2012

Biotherm: racing with purpose

Biotherm and Paul Meilhat are joining forces with the Tara Ocean Foundation to study ocean biodiversity as the racing team took on The Ocean Race in 2023 through an experimental research project integrated into the Biotherm IMOCA. Each leg of the race is a data collection opportunity as experimental sensors onboard the Biotherm IMOCA captures key Information about phytoplankton and the health of our ocean. These data will complement Tara Ocean Foundation's research by travelling to places the research vessel cannot.

Advocating For Our Ocean: Biotherm And The Oceanographic Institute, Prince Albert I Of Monaco Foundation

In 2021, Biotherm unveiled that it is the Major Executive Partner of the Oceanographic Institute of Monaco, based on their shared goal to inspire love and protection for the oceans. The brand’s support will contribute to supporting the Oceano’s actions for the oceans, mobilizing its global network of experts and decisionmakers and raising public awareness on the fragile situation of the ocean today. Originally headquartered in Monaco, the launch of this long-term partnership is a homecoming for Biotherm.

Partnering to Research Our Blue Lung : Biotherm and Tara Ocean Fondation

2017, Biotherm partnered with the Tara Ocean Foundation, a trailblazing research organization dedicated to the study of the impact of climate change on the oceans, and whose research helps the brand understand how to minimize its products’ impact on water. Biotherm proudly supports the Tara Ocean Foundation’s Mission Microbiomes, its 12th scientific mission focused on the study of the most fundamental fabric of the Ocean, its microbiome. Like the body’s microbiome is fundamental for skin health, the ocean’s microbiome is fundamental for the health of the earth. The research mission aims to understand the future of this vital ecosystem.

A Shared Desire To Protect : Biotherm And Mission Blue

Beginning in 2012, Biotherm established a long-standing partnership with Mission Blue, an organization dedicated to preserving critical marine areas known as "Hope Spots" that are essential to the ocean's survival. This collaboration has brought together a vast network of over 200 respected ocean conservation groups and organizations, all committed to protecting the ocean and promoting marine protection in Hope Spots. Each Hope Spot is scientifically vetted by a group of ocean scientists led by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to allow the natural systems to function and rebuild themselves. Since 2012, Biotherm has sponsored 10 missions across 8 Hope Spots with Mission Blue, as part of its Water Lovers program.
