INVESTOR ENGAGEMENT
Fish Finance Engagement uses our data and network to engage with fishing companies and their financiers worldwide. We have already compiled a unique data set on Europe's fishing sector and financiers for the consortium Funding Fish. We are the only group to engage with privately-held companies that dominate seafood. In addition to our work in Europe, we partner with Asia Research & Engagement (ARE) to speed the transition to sustainability in Asia's fishing sector.
Clean Seas Finance Engagement targets the lenders and owners of privately-held companies that drive the production of consumer plastics and agro-industrial chemicals. Waste from these products are causing unprecedented damage to marine ecosystems and human health. Our initiative, once again, is the only one engaging with financiers of privately-held companies at the source of a global marine waste crisis. We bring financial risks in the plastic value chain to the attention of financiers in Europe and Asia, again with the participation of allied initiatives.
EVENTS
We speak at maritime and finance events on a regular basis, bringing a fresh and non-commercial view of the investment opportunities and issues in the blue economy. Our BlueInvest Paris (May 3, 2018) was the first event to bring together French financiers and maritime leaders for a program on sustainable investment. We would be pleased to discuss speaking or research assistance that may enrich your event. See our Events page.
