“Supporting OceansLab and their mission to develop and showcase clean performance energy solutions through the world’s hardest offshore sailing races proved inspirational for our teams and clients world-wide.

“As a global ambassador, Phil Sharp naturally aligned well with Imerys. His strong technical and communication skills were easily activated both internally and through our B2B networks, which gave rise to unique opportunities to develop relations.

“We are proud of the OceansLab team, their determination to win the Race to Zero Emissions, and are delighted to have been a part of this world first campaign.”

“One of the core values that shapes our culture at Colliers is to always do what’s right for our clients, people and communities; and caring for our environment is an important part of doing what’s right.

“We are proud to support and partner with OceansLab in their race to zero emissions. Their pioneering technologies demonstrate that clean energies and solutions are possible in the most challenging and competitive ocean races. We are inspired by the team at OceansLab, proud to be part of this positive environmental campaign, and excited about the possibilities of applying sustainable solutions to the world of commercial real estate.

“By taking a more sustainable and responsible approach and partnering with true innovators like OceansLab, together we can transform the way we do things and lead our industry into the future.”

Helen O'Reilly, UK Head of Marketing and Digital at Colliers

“We know from distilling that setting out with principles, and sticking to them, has the power to change an industry. Our relationship with Phil Sharp has deepened since 2015, when we first supported his entrepreneurial challenges to established records.

“Now his environmental leadership inspires us in our own mission to decarbonise our production on the Scottish island of Islay. From Islay, our commitments to people and the planet continue to gather strength, making us one of the only distilleries in the world to be B corp certified.

“Our three single malt whiskies and The Botanist Gin are thought-provoking spirits in a world we recognise as dynamic, rich and diverse, where how you operate makes a big difference. We see ourselves reflected in OceanLab’s passion and practicality, paving the way to an increasingly self-sufficient future.”

Douglas Taylor, CEO at Bruichladdich Distillery

“Phil Sharp and OceansLab are true expressions of our company’s purpose: Powering Positive Change™. At Maxeon Solar Technologies, we’re proud that our solar cells play a small but important role in helping Phil set records while protecting our planet, accelerating the transition to a clean maritime industry.

“We salute the endless energy and abundant optimism that make OceansLab a team of true pioneers. We look forward to sailing alongside Phil as he sets new records, embraces new challenges and helps protect the fragile planet we all share.”
