Picture an economy larger than 93% of countries, growing rapidly, and crucial to our planet's future. This is the $2.5 trillion ‘Blue Economy’. At Greenbackers, we recognise the vast potential of the Ocean, and its resources and are committed to harnessing it responsibly. Central to our approach are the Sustainable Blue Economy Finance Principles, a framework we've proudly supported for three years. These principles offer crucial guidance for investors navigating the blue economy. Why are these principles pivotal for investors? 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗠𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Provides a framework for assessing environmental and social risks in ocean-linked investments. 𝗟𝗼𝗻𝗴-𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗺 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: By promoting sustainable practices, they ensure the longevity of blue economy investments. 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝘁: They encourage investment in addressing pressing ocean challenges. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆: The principles foster clear reporting and stakeholder engagement, crucial for responsible investing. 𝗔𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗮𝗹𝘀: They help direct capital towards achieving SDG 14 (Life Below Water) and other relevant SDGs. Greenbackers are recognised by the United Nations as one of the pioneering organisations comprising the Founding Signatories of the Principles - As signatories, we've witnessed how these principles shape a more sustainable blue economy. From emerging aquaculture technologies to ocean energy solutions, we're seeing an influx of investable opportunities that align with these guidelines. We invite fellow investors to join us in championing these principles. By doing so, we can collectively drive innovation, sustainability, and profitable growth in the blue economy sector.
