Following our annual Beach Cleans in 2021, we wanted to solidify our commitment to giving back to our planet. So, in 2022, we decided to become members of the Ocean Network in collaboration with Surfers Against Sewage. We strongly felt this was a great step forward in the right direction to help our planet.
Here at Escape, we each enjoy the outdoors and being in the environment so it means a lot to us to put in the effort to look after it and as a brand, we are also passionate about encouraging people into the water and want to be able to continue to do so by helping people feel safe and comfortable in that environment.
