Respect oceans, protect beauty

RESPECT OCEANS, PROTECT BEAUTY

Due to Japan’s unique geographical location, situated at the intersection of several seas, Shiseido is deeply committed to continually raising awareness about the importance of preserving and respecting marine ecosystems.

TAKING OCEAN PRESERVATION ONE STEP FURTHER

In 2024, a European initiative by the SHISEIDO brand strengthens its commitment to preserving the oceans and supports the M.A.R.E (Marine Adventure for Research & Education) project led by the Centro Velico Caprera Foundation with the scientific collaboration of One Ocean Foundation.

AN UNPRECEDENTED EXPEDITION TO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA

A UNIQUE OBSERVATORY OF MARINE HEALTH

Supported by the EMEA region of the Shiseido brand, the M.A.R.E 2024 project aims to achieve several key objectives:

Contribute

to the understanding and conservation of marine biodiversity by creating a comprehensive map of the distribution and presence of threatened species.

Foster

scientific collaboration and develop a common charter for best practices by offering a free, open platform for researchers, students, and institutions to share knowledge and resources.

Assess

the level of contamination in the Mediterranean Sea, providing essential data on various persistent chemical pollutants to the scientific community.

Disseminate

research findings and raise awareness among diverse audiences through digital events and communication initiatives.

FOR A BETTER WORLD

For more than 150 years, Shiseido has been commited to providing its customers around the world with top-quality cosmetics in terms of efficacy and safety. Our formulas draw inspiration from nature while also strongly committing to environmental preservation – for instance, the group introduced the first refillable packaging since 1926.
