Sustainable Seafood Finance: Risks and Opportunities for Financial Institutions and Seafood Sector Companies

Apr 23 2024

15:00 - 16:00

CC 5.2

Financial institutions are paying increasing attention to the environmental and social risks and opportunities they are exposed to through their seafood clients and portfolio companies. This panel will highlight how financial institutions are addressing these risks and impacts, supporting the transition to sustainable seafood through company dialogue and engagement, what tools and information they are using to do so and how they are seeking opportunities and innovation in this sector (e.g. the new Fisheries Improvement Fund (FIF)). The panel will also hear from leading companies and how they are responding to the changing pressures from their lenders and investors. Moderated by WWF, this panel will include representation from leading banks, asset managers, impact investors, companies and thought leaders active in sustainable seafood finance.
