From our beach offices constructed entirely of recycled and repurposed materials and powered by 23kW solar, even the building and furniture we work with is sustainable! OPP speaks at global sustainability events from COP to United Nations Ocean Conference to GITEX to ASEAN to G20 to Climate Week New York cementing our reputation as the top Blue Economy Association in Singapore.

As of September 2026, Ocean Purpose Project officially joins forces with 1% for the Planet and thousands of businesses and environmental organizations worldwide taking collective action so our planet and future generations can thrive. Singapore can be a powerful gateway for international companies wanting to create credible, visible environmental impact in Asia.
If your company has employees, operations, customers, suppliers or sustainability ambitions in Singapore or Southeast Asia, come and build something with us. Having met 1% for the Planet’s high vetting standard, we are now eligible to receive contributions from 1% for the Planet certified businesses - companies that are held accountable for directing at least 1% of annual revenue to vetted and approved environmental organizations. To ensure that every dollar funds verifiable impact and aligns with evolving global compliance frameworks, all impact partners must clear 1% for the Planet's rigorous Certification & Vetting Standard. This unified, three-pillar vetting process evaluates partners across Legal Accountability, Organizational Credibility and Solutions Alignment.

We started grassroots. We still work grassroots.
But the problems facing our oceans are global — and solving them will require companies, communities, scientists and changemakers working together across borders.
