4ocean and U.S. Polo Assn.'s partnership began in 2021, and now the two organizations have collectively removed over 215,000 pounds worldwide. Through this partnership, 4ocean and U.S. Polo Assn. worked together towards ocean-positive sustainability across 74 clean-up locations, with most of the waste being pulled in Bali, Indonesia, and Guatemala.

"At 4ocean, we are incredibly proud to partner with U.S. Polo Assn. in our mission to create a cleaner ocean," said Alex Schulze, Co-Founder of 4ocean. "Their dedication and support have been instrumental in helping us remove some 215,000 pounds of plastic from our oceans. Together, we are making a significant impact in the fight against ocean plastic pollution."

This meaningful partnership is a component of U.S. Polo Assn.'s overarching sustainability initiative USPA Life, which takes a global and holistic approach toward reducing U.S. Polo Assn.'s environmental impact. Through USPA Life, 4ocean partners with U.S. Polo Assn.'s Global Team in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the sport-inspired brand's annual Beach Cleanup. The USPA Life initiative also offers a global and growing selection of apparel, footwear, and accessories with sustainable attributes for consumers to shop and support.

"We are proud to partner with 4ocean through our USPA Life initiative to tackle the ocean plastic crisis for the third year in a row and to exceed our goal by pulling over 215,000 pounds of trash from the world's waterways," said J. Michael Prince, President and CEO of USPA Global, the company that oversees the multi-billion-dollar U.S. Polo Assn. brand. "This partnership between 4ocean and U.S. Polo Assn. exemplifies the power of collective action in sustainability efforts and underscores our commitment to protecting our planet for future generations."

Another element of this partnership included 4ocean being the Official Sustainability Partner of the U.S. Open Polo Championship® this past April, where 4ocean collected plastic and trash from the prestigious and sold-out event at the USPA National Polo Center. The ocean cleanup company also had a series of commercial spots run during the U.S. Open Polo Championship Final broadcast on multiple ESPN platforms, bringing awareness to millions of consumers and sports fans.
