Marine plastic pollution is a complex, fast-growing and global threat. It impacts every known ecosystem, and every human on Earth. To end it, we need to raise awareness, harness creativity and collaboration, and implement solutions at a rate that can outpace the destruction. Our alliance with American Express delivers this message to, and through, the company’s employees, Card Members and business partners.
Since partnering with Parley in June 2018, American Express has taken steps to reduce the use of single-use plastics, support beach cleanups and educate employees to be part of the solution.
In 2019, the collaboration announced expanded commitments to the Parley AIR Strategy with a global campaign to #BackOurOceans and the introduction of a new symbol for change: the launch of the first-ever Card made primarily with reclaimed plastic intercepted by Parley from beaches, shorelines and coastal communities.
Guided by the Parley AIR Strategy, American Express evolved its operations with a commitment to limit single-use plastics, intercept plastic waste, educate and empower its network, and redesign existing products. This flagship partnership allowed us to set a new standard for the financial services sector, marking the start of our Ocean Plastic® credit card program.
