SectorMost major industry classification systems use sources of revenue as their basis for classifying companies into specific sectors, subsectors and industries. In order to group like companies based on their sustainability-related risks and opportunities, SASB created the Sustainable Industry Classification System® (SICS®) and the classification of sectors, subsectors and industries in the SDG Investor Platform is based on SICS.

Business Model Description

Build cost-effective and solar-powered cold warehousing facilities with high infrastructure connectivity, such as the ones established adjacent to the seaport and the international airport, to store processed frozen food at minus 20 or minus 40 degrees Celsius, including fish and other seafood products that will be either exported, re-exported, or are imported for use in the domestic market. Work with a firm customer base from fish processors, especially in the tuna industry, and artisanal fishers or smallholders to big agricultural and livestock producers, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination.

Expected Impact

Enhance processors' and small-scale producers' access to capital-intensive market infrastructure, increasing value added from key sectors.
