Workplace Wellbeing: Surfing the wave of sustainable energy

From generating wave energy to harvesting seaweed for agriculture and skincare products, three businesses have found ways to harness the ocean sustainably while creating rewarding careers for employees   

These companies show the world that it’s possible to be green every day.

The world will celebrate St Patrick’s Day by turning its monuments green today. But in Ireland, there are companies that aren’t just green for one day. These companies harness elements of the natural world to sustainably create products that benefit us all. In doing so, they show the world that it’s possible to be green every day.

OceanEnergy is one of these companies. Set up in 2014 to develop equipment that could transform the power of waves into electricity, it has since developed the world’s largest capacity wave energy device, which it hopes to see in use in Ireland and all over the world by the end of the decade.
