Sustainable Ocean Summit (SOS) 2016 Overview

The World Ocean Council (WOC)’s Sustainable Ocean Summit (SOS) is the only global, multi-sector

platform for leadership companies and organizations to advance Corporate Ocean Responsibility and

ocean business community leadership and collaboration on sustainable development.

The World Ocean Council (WOC) is pleased to invite you to participate in the 4th SOS, which will

address the topic “OCEAN 2030: Sustainable Development Goals and the Ocean Business Community”

from November 30th to December 2nd 2016, in Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, Europe. The SOS will

bring together over 200 international, high-level ocean industry participants in a unique cross-sectoral

forum to shape the ocean sustainability agenda, address emerging ocean issues and regulation, and

develop strategic alliances on ocean sustainability, science and stewardship.

The SOS 2016 will bring together ocean industry leaders from shipping, oil and gas, fisheries,

aquaculture, ports, mining, insurance, finance, renewable offshore energy, tourism, shipbuilding,

marine technology and other industries. Other ocean stakeholder SOS participants include

government regulators, scientists, environmental organizations, military, international organizations

and others.

SOS participants will work together to review ocean economic projections for the coming 15 years

and develop industry-driven solutions to ocean sustainable development challenges. The results of

the “Ocean 2030” session will feed into WOC and ocean business community efforts to address

ocean sustainable development and the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN, especially for

SDG 14 on the Ocean.

The WOC is the only international, cross-sectoral alliance for private sector leadership and

collaboration in “Corporate Ocean Responsibility”. Companies and associations worldwide are

distinguishing themselves as leaders in ocean sustainability, stewardship and science by joining the

WOC. Members to date include 70+ leadership organizations from a wide range of ocean industries:

oil and gas, shipping, seafood, fisheries, aquaculture, mining, marine mining, renewable energy, ocean

technology, maritime law, marine environmental services and other areas. The WOC Network includes

35,000+ ocean industry stakeholders around the world. The WOC is a registered not-for-profit

organization in the US and the UK/Europe.

If you aren’t yet a WOC Member, we encourage you to learn more about the WOC, talk to our

members at the SOS, and become a part of this growing leadership alliance.
