OUR IMPACT
Behind Sea Change is the belief that we can all make small changes to our lifestyles that, together, make a big impact – including our choice of wine. That’s why we do things differently, like minimising our packaging, removing the unnecessary plastic wrap around the cork on our bottles, and supporting our ocean conservation charity partners with every bottle sold.
But how much progress are we making and what sort of impact are we having? You can find out more in our Impact Statements which shed light on the positive changes we've initiated, highlighting our key achievements and offering a glimpse into our future plans.

OUR OCEANS ARE IN DANGER
Whether it's plastic, overfishing, global warming, tourism or pollutants, our oceans are under attack.
Yet they are vital to our survival! They provide us with water, air, fish, and bio-diversity that literally keeps our planet alive.
Our oceans are the heart and soul of our planet. Without them, we would cease to exist. Not only does the ocean supply us with water, but it produces half the world's oxygen.
It also stores 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere.
At Sea Change, we’re passionate about two things, wine and protecting our oceans. Stopping plastic from entering the oceans is a large part of ocean conservation, with many projects around the world dedicating themselves to the cause.
You can read more across our site - or check out some of our ocean charity partners, such as the Olive Ridley Project, or Ocean Generation.

OUR ECO-FRIENDLY PACKAGING
As well as removing plastic from the boxes, wrapping and labels we use for posting out your delicious wines, we've changed the way our bottles are packaged too.
Have you noticed that most bottles of wine have a plastic wrap covering the cork?
We believe this is unnecessary, so have removed them. We have minimised all Sea Change packaging to reduce our environmental impact: we use lighter-weight glass bottles, renewable plant-based closures and label paper from sustainable forests made in part from grape waste.
