SUSTAINABILITY
OCEAN AZORES FOUNDATION
Baleia branded product makes a donation to The Ocean Azores Foundation. This commitment is part of our belief in a sustainable ocean for the future. The Ocean Azores Foundation will look to fund ocean-based research and conservation projects based on all islands of the Azores – MORE
RECYCLED GLASS
We have changed our glass bottle and design to be even more sustainable. By using recycled glass (which is different to glass that can be recycled) we are reducing our carbon footprint even further.
ETHICAL WHALE WATCHING
We are a proud supporter of The Ocean Azores Foundation. One of the first and most important projects the foundation has undertaken is to create an ethical and sustainable guide to whale watching in the Azores – MORE
