Through the Board of Trust-Seas, Venus
continues its commitments to help protect the ocean, building on
years-long partnerships and product innovation that inspires women
to love their skin and love the planet.
The ocean serves as the world’s greatest resource and connector,
making it vital to protect for generations to come. Venus is
continuing the brand’s commitment to sustainability by taking steps
to help preserve the ocean. Last year, Venus partnered with We Are
One Ocean to launch the global organization’s 30X30 initiative, a
petition that calls on world leaders to preserve 30 percent of the
global ocean by 2030. In addition, Venus has introduced paper
packaging and durable, metal razor handles to help make each shave
more sustainable.

While climate change is a universal issue, a recent report by
the United Nations found women globally are more vulnerable to the
effects of climate change than men due to social, economic, and
cultural factors.* However, women are not often positioned to help
lead effective change. In fact, according to a study conducted by
Oceanography Magazine, while men and women enroll in undergraduate
and graduate programs in oceanography in equal numbers, only 15% of
senior faculty positions across 26 US institutions were held by
women.**
Now, with the goal of enabling more women to be a part of the
solution in protecting the ocean, Venus is forming the brand’s
first Board of Trust-Seas. The Board consists of six women who are
uniquely breaking barriers in ocean conservation – from marine
biology, to art and photography, to surfing. Carissa Moore, 4X
World Surfing Champion, Olympic gold medalist, and ocean lover,
will also hold a seat on the newly created Board of dynamic
women.
“As a brand that's always been inspired by the ocean, we are
incredibly excited to work on this mission together with our Board
of Trust-Seas,” said Dana Brown Malcolm, North American Sr. Brand
Director of Gillette Venus. “Each of these women are not only
making important strides in the ocean conservation field, but also
taking time to mentor young women around them.”
WSL Chief People Officer, Emily Hofer, says, “We’re thrilled to
partner with Gillette Venus on the We Are One Ocean campaign, and
we are particularly excited about the work that the Board of
Trust-Seas is embarking upon. Creating space for women, and others,
who are so often marginalized from ocean conservation and
sustainability, is crucial work and fully aligned with WSL’s
commitment to equality.”
The Board’s first assignment kicks off this month with the Venus
Wave Makers Program. Each Board member will host unique in-person
or virtual experiences with a select number of young women who can
benefit from the Board’s mentorship, with the goal of increasing
the number of women in ocean conservation fields. In addition to
Carissa Moore, the Venus Board of Trust-Seas will include:
- Symone Barkley (she/her): Chief Learning Officer for Black in
Marine Science
- McKenzie Margarethe: Marine Naturalist and Researcher
- Katie Storr (she/her): Yachting Professional, Underwater
Photographer and Scuba Instructor
- Carissa Cabrera (she/her): Marine Conservation Biologist and
Educator
- Andriana Fragola (she/her): Marine Biologist and Conservation
Jewelry Artist
“This field [ocean conservation] is dominated by men, who can
provoke feelings of alienation and doubt in women, so it is
imperative that women support each other in the field,” said Symone
Barkley, Venus Board of Trust-Seas member. “I’m excited to partner
with Venus to connect with young women about the importance of
ocean science and how they can uniquely play a role in leading
effective conservation efforts.”
To continue the conversation on the topic of women in ocean
conservation, on Saturday, September 18, Venus will bring Carissa
Moore and the Board of Trust-Seas together for a special panel
discussion live from the Super Girl Pro Festival in Oceanside,
CA. During the main event on Saturday, Carissa Moore will be
competing with other pro female surfers in the water followed by
the Board of Trust-Seas panel discussion at 4-5PM PST on the beach.
The events will be broadcasted live on their website as well as on
Twitch and YouTube, and you can learn more about the Board of
Trust-Seas and the discussion happening at SuperGirlPro.com.
