Approach — Neptune Aquaculture

Mega Trends

Neptune has identified a number of core mega trends that are transforming the way food is produced and consumed. These mega trends are creating profound tailwinds for the aquaculture industry and a significant opportunity for investors.

Resource Scarcity

Climate Change

Food Security

Growing Middle Class

Health and Nutrition

These megatrends create uncertainties, opportunities and important guidance to our investment themes. We believe that businesses offering proactive and innovative solutions to the uncertainties and issues arising from megatrends, will see stronger growth, deliver more positive impacts and better financial performance over time.

Investment Themes

Our industry-specific investment themes are designed to maximise value creation in a sustainable way, by providing platform companies with the necessary resources and expertise to achieve their full potential.

Resource Efficiency

Allocate capital to underinvested industry segments, whilst increasing productivity (producing more with less) and simultaneously integrating business platforms and driving a high-performance culture.

Operational Improvements

Implementation of industry best practice and knowledge transfer between sectors to maximise sustainable production outcomes and achieve long-term revenue and cost synergies.

Technology & Innovation

Promote the introduction of new technologies and innovations that support sustainable growth, improved productivity, product development and the ability to monitor and measure performance outcomes.

Sustainability Outcomes

The importance of sustainability is creating significant opportunities for investors to inject advanced operational expertise, new technologies and greater professionalism across the aquaculture value chain.

Through its approach to Aquaculture investing, Neptune has the ability to achieve a number of real, tangible sustainability outcomes to help to solve the environmental and social challenges facing the global aquaculture value chain. Identifying and targeting a specific set of sustainability objectives forms a key component of Neptune’s investment process. Across its portfolio of platform companies, Neptune is committed to addressing the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals:

Neptune invests in an industry based on the farming of live animals. As investors we promote compliance with animal welfare regulations and best practice, respectful of all stakeholders' right to know that this is the foundation of everything Neptune does.

Neptune aims to be an industry leader in health, safety and security. As an investor, Neptune actively works to prevent accidents related to people, the environment and assets.

Ethical conduct is fundamental to sustainable business operations and is at the forefront of Neptune’s investment approach. Neptune demands the highest level of ethical standards from all who act on its behalf and expects business partners and suppliers to meet these standards.
