Oriel Marine Extracts continued to deepen its commitment to community engagement in 2024, exceeding its milestone target by supporting eight local events, up from six in 2023. This surpasses the company’s milestone target by 60% and reflects a growing dedication to supporting local initiatives and fostering strong community relationships.

Among the events supported, Oriel entered a team in a local golf fundraiser, contributing not only through participation but also by donating a hamper of Oriel products as a prize. This initiative helped raise funds for a local cause while promoting the company’s unique marine-based products within the community.

In another example of meaningful support, Oriel provided a €150 sponsorship to the Dreadnots GAA team. This contribution supported youth sports development and reinforced the company’s commitment to encouraging active, healthy lifestyles in its local area.

These efforts are part of a broader strategy to maintain strong community ties and contribute positively to the social fabric of the region. By engaging in diverse events and offering both financial and in-kind support, Oriel Marine Extracts demonstrates how businesses can play a valuable role in local development.
