Collaboration with the award-winning Australia-based non-profit on a mission to free oceans of plastic pollution started July 2023

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- By employee vote, The Myers-Briggs Company selected the Australia-based organization Take 3 for The Sea as their new charity partner. Employees were enamored by the non-profit's impactful work and direct message.

"Plastic is a big problem for our planet," says The Myers-Briggs Company CEO, Jeff Hayes. "Our employees are excited to get behind the mission of reducing plastic pollution in our waterways and being mindful of our own plastic use. And as a B Corp, we're aligned with Take 3 for the Sea in leaving the planet better than we found it."

Employees from The Myers-Briggs Company and Take 3 for the Sea get together to sign the charity partner agreement, signifying the official start of an 18-month long collaboration between the two organizations to reduce plastic pollution in our waterways around the world.

Take 3 for the Sea strives to combat the detrimental effects of plastic pollution on wildlife and the environment with a simple message: take three pieces of rubbish with you when you leave the beach, waterway, or anywhere, and you've made a difference!

Jacquie Riddell, CEO for Take 3 for the Sea, emphasizes the urgent need for action to combat plastic pollution in our oceans: "Now is the time to act and encourage personal and corporate responsibility to contribute to the solution. Working with The Myers-Briggs Company, we hope to inspire and guide millions more people towards positive actions they can take to solve the problem."

Given the new partnership started in Plastic Free July, The Myers-Briggs Company's Oxford office employees got together for their first Take 3 for the Sea-inspired litter pickup, collecting over 1,300 liters of trash along the Cherwell River.

The partnership will run through the end of 2024.
