OUR IMPACT
2022 IMPACT REPORT
We have a steadfast commitment to delivering impact within our own business, the wider value chain and for systemic change in food, materials, and production systems. We’re in it for the long haul and we have a long-term plan that has identified the relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals and a program of measuring and reporting as OCEANIUM grows.
