INVESTING IN OCEAN FUTURES: Finance and Innovation for the Blue Economy

Paris / 20 - 22 November 2019

www.sustainableoceansummit.org

THE CHALLENGE The ocean is an inter-connected global ecosystem supporting a wide range of uses. Maintaining a healthy ocean requires responsible stewardship by all users.

Concerns about the impacts of economic activity on ocean health from a growing range and level of commercial uses are on the rise. These concerns may limit industry access to marine areas and resources. Ocean users are increasingly being held accountable by governments and NGOs for the state of the ocean. Continued ocean access and use will increasingly require the social licence to operate – above and beyond simple regulatory compliance – and participation in the Sustainable Development Goals.

The best efforts by a single company or an entire sector will not be enough to address the cumulative impacts on the inter-connected marine ecosystem from growing use across the sectors. Companies dependent on the ocean can achieve business value from working with others to address shared challenges regarding sustainable development, science and stewardship.

WOC – OCEAN BUSINESS ALLIANCE FOR SUSTAINABILITYThe World Ocean Council is the international, cross-sectoral industry leadership alliance on “Corporate Ocean Responsibility”.

The WOC brings together leadership companies from the diverse Ocean Business Community to achieve the business benefits of cross-sectoral leadership and collaboration on sustainability.

The WOC develops global “platforms” to address cross-cutting ocean business and sustainability challenges, e.g. ocean policy and governance, marine planning, marine debris, marine sound, marine mammal impacts, water pollution, data collection by industry vessels and platforms, sea level rise and extreme event impacts, priority regions (e.g. Arctic, Indian Ocean), and investment for ocean sustainable development.

THE INVITATION TO RESPONSIBLE OCEAN COMPANIES Responsible ocean companies are invited to join the growing number of organizations distinguishing themselves as leaders in “Corporate Ocean Responsibility” through the WOC.

In addition to the 75+ WOC Members from the diverse Ocean Business Community, the WOC Network includes 35,000+ ocean industry stakeholders around the world. The WOC is recognized or accredited by numerous U.N. agencies and other international organizations as the credible, global leadership body on ocean business and sustainability.

The WOC Sustainable Ocean Summit (SOS) – 2010 Belfast; 2013 Washington DC; 2015 Singapore; 2016 Rotterdam; 2017 Halifax; 2018 Hong Kong; 2019 Paris – is acknowledged as the international business conference on ocean sustainable development, science and stewardship.
