In Switzerland, the campaign will be watched by approximately 700,000 people (10% of the Swiss population) from the second week of February till the end of March.

FOS advertisement for the Swiss TV is translated in French, German and Italian and it will be aired on all 7 major TV channels.

The TV spots introduce viewers to the Friend of the Sea certification, highlighting companies' engagement in environmental conservation and social accountability.
