Our commitments

THALGO World Oceans Day

Marine benefits

The sea and oceans represent more than 70% of the planet's surface and have always been essential to humans. Source of life and benefits, they concentrate all the nutrients essential to our health and well-being.

The sea can revitalise the mind and body.

The sea is the source of 92 minerals and trace elements that are vital for our individual balance. It revitalises the body thanks to its concentration in active ingredients. Algae concentrates up to 10,000 times more revitalising minerals than land-based plants. It revitalises the mind as it is a source of well-being. Did you know that the coastline concentrates 1,600 more negative ions than urban air!

OUR CLEAN OCEAN COMMITMENTS

THALGO is committed to the protection of marine biodiversity.

« Our planet would not exist without the Ocean…Covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, they produce almost half of the oxygen in the atmosphere and store 30% of CO2 emissions. They regulate the climate by absorbing 90% of excess heat in our atmosphere. They are also a biodiversity reserve, with 90% yet to be discovered. 

But, today, the excess carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere causes the acidification of marine water while ever-increasing land temperatures affect their role as a global climate regulator. Land-based pollution, particularly plastic, suffocates our blue lung. Every minute, 18 tonnes of plastic are discharged into the oceans. If this trend continues, by 2050 there will be more plastic waste than fish in the oceans.

In light of these challenges, a corporate contribution is essential. »
