Alfa Laval signs Business Call to Action to strengthen global cooperation and accelerate action to conserve and sustainably use the ocean

Alfa Laval is joining the Business Call to Action: “Land and sea, a vital connection for a thriving and resilient economy”, presented at the event “Blue Economy and Finance Forum” (BEFF) - prior to the official opening of the third United Nations Ocean Conference in Nice, France, 9-13 June 2025.

In this joint commitment more than 70 businesses and supporting organisations from 25 countries, including 50 businesses representing over €600 billion in turnover and 2 million employees, have urgently called upon both private and public decision-makers to strengthen global cooperation and accelerate action to conserve and sustainably use the ocean.

With this Business Call to Action, companies and business networks urge policymakers to:

• agree on, adopt and implement international agreements: champion strong, sustainable outcomes for existing and upcoming ocean-related agreements,
• invest in ocean science and support strong science-policy interfaces,
• acknowledge and embed into policies the links between ocean, nature and climate,
• help all actors to collectively adapt to sea-level rise,
• develop robust and innovative finance mechanisms,
• raise awareness to encourage all actors to care for the ocean, even those based on land.
