Finisterre

Finisterre has worked with Waves for Change for over five years; a charity who help young people enduring a troubled or violent life in South Africa’s most disadvantaged communities. Introducing these kids to the healing power of the sea, they provide safe spaces, caring mentors and weekly surf therapy sessions

Finisterre provides their suppliers with a Code of Conduct which are required to commit to in order to work with them: it outlines minimum requirements to respect the health, safety and welfare of the workers in the supply chain. Their Code of Conduct is third party regulated by Fair Working Conditions and through compliancy audits, ensuring that products have been produced in full compliance and aligned with the brand's ethics and values

The brand has worked closely with SAS for many years; from collaborating on a micro-plastics clothing collection in 2018, raising over £5,000 of donations for the charity, to the company-wide support of the Spring and Autumn Beach Cleans since their inception. They’ve championed their Plastic Free Communities initiatives, hosted events in-store and lent their platform and their scientific expertise, sharing conservation data

Their new product bags are water soluble, recyclable, and completely marine safe; breaking down harmlessly into non-toxic biomass in soil and sea
