At Greenbackers, we recognise the vast potential of the Ocean, and its resources and are committed to harnessing it responsibly.

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.
