For many years, round-the-world sailor Herrmann and his crew have been sending a clear message in prestigious regattas such as the Vendée Globe with their slogan 

, raising awareness of the fragility of the oceans and the opportunities that lie in protecting them. On his voyages, he collects important environmental data, often in marine regions that are virtually inaccessible to science. This data helps to understand the impact of climate change on the ocean and develop ways to mitigate negative consequences. As part of the partnership, KPMG is supporting Team Malizia to contribute to global climate research and will, for example, utilise Team Malizia's education programme, to create greater awareness for climate and ocean action.

commented: “We are excited to welcome KPMG as a partner of our team. In KPMG, we have gained a strong partner for our mission to protect the world's Ocean . KPMG supports its clients in their sustainable transformation while consistently promoting sustainability within its own organisation. I look forward to joint projects that will open new perspectives for KPMG's clients and employees as well as for society."
