About the initiative

“Champions of Change” has been initiated by Greenpeace International and the Break Free From Plastic movement.

The aim is to showcase the breadth and depth of business support for tackling plastic pollution in an ambitious way, and to demonstrate how many businesses around the world are already part of a low-plastic future. 

About BFFP

The #breakfreefromplastic is a global movement envisioning a future free from plastic pollution. Since its launch in 2016, more than 2,000 organizations and 11,000 individual supporters from across the world have joined the movement to demand massive reductions in single-use plastics and push for lasting solutions to the plastic pollution crisis. BFFP member organizations and individuals share the shared values of environmental protection and social justice and work together through a holistic approach to bring about systemic change. This means tackling plastic pollution across the whole plastics value chain—from extraction to disposal—focusing on prevention rather than cure and providing effective solutions. www.breakfreefromplastic.org

About Greenpeace

Greenpeace is a network of independent organizations, which uses peaceful, creative confrontation to expose global environmental problems, and develop solutions for a green and peaceful future. We believe in a world where the land, sky, oceans, and water are home to an abundance of life, not an abundance of plastic, and where the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat is free of toxic by-products of plastic pollution. Over 2 million people from around the world have joined us so far to tell world leaders to champion a strong Global Plastics Treaty so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic.

About Plastic Pollution Coalition

Plastic Pollution Coalition (PPC) is a non-profit communications and advocacy organization that collaborates with an expansive global alliance of organizations, businesses, and individuals to create a more just, equitable, regenerative world free of plastic pollution and its toxic impacts. PPC was founded in 2009 by a small group of artists, activists, scientists, and leaders to dispel myths and euphemisms such as “marine debris” and “litter” and instead, call it what it is: plastic pollution. Today, as the first and most established organization focused solely on plastic pollution, PPC has thousands of members in 75 countries working to change business as usual, shift culture, and support policy and legislation to address the crisis. www.plasticpollutioncoalition.org
