Sustainable financing offers an opportunity to advance uptake of certification through the delivery of transparent and verifiable metrics of performance. However, a gap exists between the data investors need, and the metrics sustainability provides. With global growth of aquaculture and continued reliance on capture fisheries, there’s a vital new role for certification bodies to provide investors with the data to demonstrate risk mitigation and deliver assurances – offering a unique opportunity to drive more responsible production at a broader scale.
The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) and Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) are partnering with Rockefeller Asset Management (RAM) to drive strategic information sharing in support of advancing sustainability under their Ocean Engagement Strategy. Representatives from both ASC/MSC and RAM will discuss the challenges of scaling responsible operations and share learnings on how these types of strategic partnerships expand organizational roles to leverage the use of performance data for meaningful engagement between financier and corporate.
Our collaboration helps companies reduce reporting burdens while securing investment. It provides financiers with the assurances they need, connecting sustainability improvements directly to investment and driving meaningful change in the industry.
