Ecostore is the leading environmental and sustainable brand in New Zealand, focused on home, body, baby and now oral care.
The sponsorship sees Ecostore officially back Burling and Tuke’s 2020 49er Olympic campaign, as well as work with the sailors on some exciting campaigns and projects to help raise awareness of their own environmental initiatives.
“Working with Peter and Blair who share our values and love of the ocean is a great opportunity for us to have more conversations about ocean waste and the steps that can make a big difference in saving our oceans,” said Jemma Whiten from Ecostore.
Burling and Tuke said they felt fortunate to be working with one of New Zealand’s most loved brands that has sustainability at its heart.

“We approached Ecostore because we were impressed with their leadership position as a business committed to being as environmentally responsible as possible, said Burling.
“As a New Zealand business that is constantly innovating to make products that are kinder to the environment and to reducing ocean waste, it felt like a really good fit.
We’re proud to have them sponsor our 2020 49er Olympic campaign.”
Tuke says of his ambassador role, “We must play our part. It is much more efficient to focus on prevention at the source rather than clean up afterwards. By making small lifestyle changes, like refilling bottles, every person can immediately make a difference.
“We have a long way to go but we are grateful to work with partners like Ecostore to shine a light on steps everyday Kiwis can take to make a difference.”
