BSAG works to mitigate eutrophication and the effects of climate change and to combat biodiversity loss. Cooperation with scientists, businesses, legislators, and farmers is central to the foundation's approach.[2] The foundation currently works to protect marine biodiversity, promote responsible shipping, and encourage regenerative agriculture in the Baltic Sea.[3]
BSAC works with companies operating in and around the Baltic Sea. The foundation encourages these companies to make Baltic Sea Commitments, promises to implement sustainability strategies.[4] In 2009, Finnish chemical company Kemira pledged to control their sludge disposal, as too much nitrogen and phosphorus in the water increases risk of eutrophication.[5] By 2023, more than 300 commitments have been made.[4]
