In addition to providing environmental and social benefits, the program will enable people living in coastal communities in developing countries earn a secure income. It aims to work and act together to reduce the environmental footprint and collaborate on supporting ecologically-responsible practices.

According to Claude Claret, CEO and co-founder, Horus Pharma, the partnership has committed to recycle nearly 100 tons of plastic before it reaches the ocean, before the end of the current year. This is equivalent to nearly 5 million half-a-litre plastic bottles.
