SSA Group named first corporate member of Aquarium Conservation Partnership

The partnership is focused on improving ocean health through programs that reduce plastic waste, protect marine wildlife and promote sustainability.

SSA Group, which partners with many cultural attractions across the U.S., has been named the first corporate member of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership (ACP).

The ACP is a coalition of Association of Zoos & Aquarium-accredited aquariums and zoos committed to advancing ocean and freshwater conservation. The partnership wants to improve ocean health through programs that reduce plastic waste, protect marine ecosystems and wildlife, and promote sustainable practices.

The partnership with SSA Group exemplifies the company’s commitment to making a positive impact on the environment, according to the ACP. By being present in nearly 100 zoos and aquariums, SSA Group’s collective power is influencing manufacturers and suppliers globally to make positive change.

“We are honored to be part of this important partnership,” says Sean McNicholas, CEO of SSA Group. “SSA continues to look for ways to enhance our conservation impact, as we reach over 100 million visitors each year. By joining ACP, we are excited to be influencers of change — a core part of the mission of our company.”

Kim McIntyre, executive director of the Aquarium Conservation Partnership, shares that SSA Group’s commitment to environmental stewardship “perfectly aligns” with the ACP’s mission.

“We are thrilled to welcome SSA Group as the Aquarium Conservation Partnership’s first corporate member,” she says. “Together, we will strengthen our collective impact and work towards a healthier, more sustainable future for our ocean and freshwater ecosystems and the people and wildlife that depend on them.”
