Dr. Bronner’s Partners With Sea Shepherd

Dr. Bronner's is partnering with Sea Shepherd to support the group’s upcoming campaign to save pilot whales off the coast of the Faroe Islands. Established in 1977, Sea Shepherd is an international non-profit, marine wildlife conservation organization. Their mission is to end the habitat destruction and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans, in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and marine species. Dr. Bronner’s is supplying soap to the three Sea Shepherd ships departing Bremen, Germany for the 2015 Faroe Islands Pilot Whale Defense Campaign, Operation Sleppid Grindini.

“Sea Shepherd’s approach to the conservation of the world’s oceans and protection of marine wildlife is essential and unprecedented,” says Michael Bronner, vice president of Dr. Bronner’s. “Dr. Bronner’s and Sea Shepherd share a set of ethics and beliefs that ground both of our organizations. I am inspired and humbled by the individuals who make up Sea Shepherd and how each does their part together to confront injustice and make positive change in the world. Although we are not with Sea Shepherd on the boats physically, we are definitely with them in spirit for the Set the Whales Free campaign, and we are happy and honored that our soaps will be there to clean the crew along the way. We look forward to building a partnership with Sea Shepherd into the future,” continues Bronner.
