Costa Honored for Contributions to UN Sustainable Goals

Costa Sunglasses, a leader in the conservation space, was awarded the prestigious RELX SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) Customer Award for its Untangle our Oceans campaign. Costa is one of four organizations receiving the award for its significant and demonstrable contributions toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The Untangle our Oceans campaign and collection of sunglasses bring light to the most harmful form of plastic pollution in our oceans, discarded fishing nets and gear. In partnership with Bureo, Costa gives discarded fishing nets a new life in its Untangled Collection of lifestyle and performance sunglasses that are made from 97 percent to 100 percent recycled fishing nets. Through this innovative partnership, Costa helps to reduce ocean plastic pollution, protect biodiversity and champion circular economy principles.

The SDG Customer Awards are presented by RELX, a global provider of information and analytics for professional and business customers across industries. RELX supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through its contributions to society, including universal, sustainable access to information.

Since 1983, Costa has been committed to protect the watery world it calls home through product innovation, conservation partnerships, coastal cleanups, reducing single use plastic and more. Its conservation efforts speak to SDG Goal 14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development.
