Onze Missie

Zorgen voor een miljard PADI Torchbearers™ die de zee verkennen en beschermen.

Onze benadering van maatschappelijk verantwoord ondernemen is gebaseerd op de lange en blijvende erfenis van de organisatie om de onderwaterwereld waar we van houden te beschermen. Als het grootste netwerk van duikcentra, duikinstructeurs en duikers hebben we een geweldige kans om miljoenen PADI Torchbearers™ te mobiliseren om de zee te redden.

PADI heeft een unieke positie om een rol te spelen in de wereldwijde aanpak voor een duurzamere toekomst. We zijn toegewijd om oplossingsgerichte initiatieven met blijvende impact op te zetten.

PADI PIJLERS VAN VERANDERING

Een van de belangrijkste manieren waarop we onze nalatenschap op een goede manier kunnen doorgeven aan huidige en toekomstige generaties, is door ons steentje bij te dragen om de PADI®-organisatie op verantwoorde wijze te leiden. Daaronder valt dat we zorgen voor een duurzame duikindustrie en dat we de zee willen beschermen waarvan al het leven afhangt..

De pijlers van verandering weerspiegelen de kernwaarden van het merk PADI en de toezegging die we hebben gedaan om te werken aan een verbetering voor mens en planeet. We blijven actief naar manieren zoeken om samen met lokale gemeenschappen de uitdagingen aan te pakken waar de zee mee te maken heeft. Dit achten wij van cruciaal belang voor het bereiken van evenwicht tussen mens en natuur.
