ERMA FIRST, a leading sustainable maritime solutions provider, has become a signatory of the EU Mission Charter targeting the protection and restoration of regional waters by 2030.
The Mission – one of five EU Missions within the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme – aims to “protect and restore the health of our ocean and waters through research and innovation, citizen engagement and blue investments”. As a signatory to the Mission Charter, ERMA FIRST will attend the Mission’s meetings and events while pledging actions that contribute to its objectives.
Commitment to the Charter consolidates sustainability initiatives already overseen by ERMA FIRST at the local level.
In 2023, the group collaborated with HELMEPA (Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association) on events in May and November, organising volunteers to remove waste and debris from beaches in Piraeus. Both projects aligned with EU ‘Mission Ocean and Waters Actions’ definitions, with the second event also notable for the assistance given by the ‘jellyfishbot’ IADYS in clean up operations. In an earlier initiative, ERMA FIRST brought the community together to clean up Votsalakia beach in 2021.
In organising and leading these events, ERMA FIRST directly contributed to objectives 1 and 2 of the Mission Charter: to “protect and restore marine and freshwater ecosystems and biodiversity” and to “prevent and eliminate pollution of our ocean, seas and waters”. Furthermore, by involving the local community, the company used one of two Mission ‘enablers’ – “public mobilisation and engagement”.
Annual Mission events see signatories from around the European Union gathering to discuss matters and propose actions related to the Mission’s objectives. ERMA FIRST is due to attend the Mission Ocean and Waters Forum in Brussels, Belgium, on 5 March, as well as related matchmaking events on the 4th and 6th.
