Climate Change Data

Environmental Metrics

ESG Focus Areas

• Marine Plastic Pollution

Social Achievements

• Engaging and supporting the informal waste sector to enhance collection of plastic waste, improving livelihoods of waste pickers.

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Eight million metric tons of plastic waste enters the ocean annually, expected to double by 2025.
• Devastating impacts on marine life, ecosystems, and economies.
• Inadequate waste management infrastructure in many countries.
• Low value of some plastics discouraging collection.
• Low oil prices making virgin plastics cheaper than recycled ones.

Mitigation Strategies

• Identifying and promoting investment opportunities across the plastics value chain.
• Accelerating development and scale-up of better materials.
• Promoting innovative products and circular business models.
• Advancing collection, tracking, and sorting innovations.
• Engaging and supporting the informal waste sector.
• Enhancing recycling, repurposing, and composting.
• Developing responsible waste-to-energy conversion solutions.
• Supporting integrated waste management solutions.
• Leveraging philanthropy, citizen engagement, and government actions.

Supply Chain Management

Responsible Procurement

• Promoting sustainable materials and practices throughout the supply chain.

Climate-Related Risks & Opportunities

UN Sustainable Development Goals

• Goal 6
• Goal 12
• Goal 14
• Goal 7
• Goal 8
• Goal 13

Initiatives contribute to these goals by improving water and sanitation, promoting sustainable consumption and production, conserving ocean resources, ensuring access to energy, promoting economic growth, and combating climate change.

Sustainable Products & Innovation

• Promoting the development and use of biodegradable and recyclable materials.

Environmental Metrics

ESG Focus Areas

• Sustainable Aquaculture

Environmental Achievements

• Reduced impacts to wild stocks, habitats, water pollution, and disease transfer relative to business-as-usual production systems (RAS and Offshore Aquaculture)
• Low input requirements and potential for positive impacts on the marine environment (Bivalve and Seaweed Aquaculture)

Social Achievements

Climate Goals & Targets

Environmental Challenges

• Habitat impacts from mismanaged aquaculture facilities
• Water pollution from fish waste or undigested feed
• Impacts to wild stocks from escapes and feed sourcing
• Disease transfer from aquaculture facilities to wild populations
• High capital requirements for RAS and offshore production systems
• Risks associated with unproven technologies at scale
• Lack of publicly available information on investment opportunities
• Limited consensus on sustainable and commercially viable opportunities
• Lack of clarity on sustainability principles and impact metrics

Mitigation Strategies

• Investing in more sustainable production systems (RAS, offshore, bivalve, seaweed)
• Optimizing capital structures and mitigating operational risks
• Providing information to better inform investors
• Defining sustainability principles and impact metrics
• Developing protective, transparent, and effective permitting processes and regulations
• Establishing clear property rights and resource tenure
• Promoting development of enabling infrastructure
• Providing programs to promote sustainable innovation
• Developing public financing mechanisms
