Oceans Finance Company

About Oceans Finance Company

Oceans Finance Company (OFC) bridges the gap between natural capital management, nature-based solutions and large-scale blended finance. It develops and manages long-term funding mechanisms that amplify ecosystem impacts and uplift communities while generating sustainable returns for investors.

OFC’s priority areas for investment are 1) supporting the designation or expansion of new marine protected areas (MPAs) and their effective management, 2) enhancing the management of existing MPAs to protect and restore marine ecosystems and support the livelihoods and communities reliant on them and 3) addressing the factors driving biodiversity loss in terrestrial and marine ecosystems, including habitat degradation, pollution, climate change, over-exploitation and invasive species and disease.

OFC’s main shareholder is Climate Fund Managers (CFM), a leading climate-centric blended finance fund manager operating across Latin America, Asia and Africa. CFM raises and deploys climate finance funds in partnership at scale and at pace. Its purpose is to end the climate crisis. Established in 2015, CFM is a joint venture between the Dutch development bank FMO and Sanlam InfraWorks – part of the Sanlam Group of South Africa.
