Who We Are
Blue consists of a core team from Oceanic Global, an expert advisory board, and a network of trained consultants worldwide.
The Blue Standard was developed by Oceanic Global with the help of an expert advisory board to enable businesses and industries to take meaningful action for our blue planet.
As individuals, the decisions we make each day are all opportunities to be agents of positive change.
That power compounds as we engage communities, businesses, institutions, and global brands in changing their behavior and influencing their networks of employees, stakeholders, customers, and guests. Through the work of Oceanic Global expert trained consultants worldwide, Blue offers actionable steps to maximize the positive impact we can all create in our immediate spheres and beyond.
