PADI is uniquely positioned to play a role in the global effort to create a more sustainable future and we are committed to creating solution-based initiatives with lasting impact. LEARN MORE PADI PILLARS OF CHANGE℠ One of the most significant ways we can honor our legacy and give back to current and future generations, is to do our part to operate the PADI organization responsibly, support a sustainable dive industry and protect the ocean on which all life depends. The Pillars of Change are reflective of PADI’s core brand values and the commitments we hold for the betterment of people and planet. Actively pursuing a course of action to address ocean challenges by engaging local communities is critical for achieving balance between humanity and nature.

PILLAR 2 Industry Sustainability Reducing the global environmental footprint of the dive industry. PILLAR 3 People & Humanity Fostering diversity and inclusion in the dive industry and supporting local communities. Mission Partners and Affiliates To amplify PADI’s brand mission and help achieve our 10-year conservation targets, we seek partners and affiliates that share our vision of a world where humanity lives in balance with nature. The AWARE Foundation Since Project AWARE’s inception in 1989, PADI has been a critical partner to the foundation, directly supporting the advancement of underwater citizen science, ocean education and marine policy change. PADI and the AWARE Foundation work hand-in-hand to expand and build new conservation programs and courses addressing key ocean threats such as climate change, marine habitat loss and vulnerable species protection.
