NILIT, the global leader in high-quality Nylon 6.6 for apparel and owner of the SENSIL® sustainable brand, has teamed up with The Ocean Foundation’s Blue Resilience Initiative to reestablish and safeguard essential ocean meadows and other coastal habitats. Reducing CO2 and protecting oceans are both critical factors in NILIT’s multifaceted Total Product Sustainability program.
The company implemented OKclean energy technologies at its manufacturing plants around the world.
At its main facility in Israel, CO2 emissions were reduced by 40%.
Sagee Aran, Head of Global Marketing NILIT, said, “NILIT’s investment in The Ocean Foundation Blue Resilience Initiative naturally complements and augments our own internal actions to protect ocean ecosystems. NILIT and The Ocean Foundation can affect both sides of the ocean health equation and, together, make a more substantial impact on the well-being of our oceans and our planet.”
The Ocean Foundation’s Blue Resilience Initiative is dedicated to restoring, conserving, and financing natural coastal infrastructure by equipping key stakeholders with the tools, technical expertise, and policy frameworks to achieve large-scale climate risk reduction. Through instructional workshops and global educational outreach, the foundation helps build local capacity by connecting experts with local practitioners to provide guidance and support at all stages of a natural infrastructure project.
It also amplifies the impact by working with government officials and community leaders on developing policies that support the restoration and conservation of coastal ecosystems through new stewardship approaches and financial strategies.
