Volvo extends partnership with The Ocean Race

Volvo Cars has announced that it will deepen its relationship with The Ocean Race as both organisations mark more than 25 years of close collaboration.

Both organisations will work together to further scale their global efforts to restore and protect maritime ecosystems and use the power of sport and people to inspire and advocate for change that results in a healthier ocean.

Both organisations are said to share a strong commitment to a more sustainable future and to contribute and deliver actual change where it’s needed, including in the restoration and preservation of natural ecosystems and biodiversity.

Speaking on the partnership, Jim Rowan, Chief Executive of Volvo Cars, stated, "What we believe in and what we do at Volvo Cars goes beyond cars, and the same goes for The Ocean Race and sailing - so what we have here is a natural evolution of our partnership,". He continues, "Together with The Ocean Race, we want to create a bigger voice for ocean health and ocean rights."
