Baltic Sea Commitment

We are joining the free Baltic Sea Challenge network for the years 2024–2028.

With this commitment, our organization recognizes its responsibility in balancing the pressures of sea use and improving the state of the sea. We challenge ourselves and our organization to work for a healthy and productive Baltic Sea, strengthening the shared sense of ownership and responsibility for the well-being of our local waters.

We voluntarily respond to the common challenge by doing more for the water bodies than what the law and the requirements of our core operations demand. We commit to concrete actions to reduce the burden our activities place on local waters and the Baltic Sea.

Our organization commits to the Baltic Sea Challenge and to promoting the common vision by initiating one or more Baltic Sea actions related to the following themes within the next 12 months.

The Baltic Sea Challenge requests an annual voluntary report on the progress of the actions, which you can respond to in the manner and scope you prefer.

INSTRUCTIONS: The commitment requires the contact information, as well as information about your concrete Baltic Sea actions. The form is divided according to the themes of the Baltic Sea Challenge. You can write actions under the most suitable theme or upload them as a separate file. For example, if your organization has its own environmental program that includes Baltic Sea/water issues, you can attach it to the form. Please note that the actions in the commitment are public information.
