The ocean is fundamental to food, energy, trade, and livelihoods. Yet investment in its health still falls short.     Three years ago, we became the first energy company to issue a corporate blue bond to help address that gap, raising EUR 100 million for initiatives that protect marine biodiversity around our offshore wind farms.     Now, we’ve allocated the full amount of the net proceeds.    The funding has supported a range of projects, including Osonic (low-noise installation technology), Wilder Humber (coastal restoration in the UK), and ReCoral (coral habitat support in Taiwan), alongside biodiversity research and other measures to monitor or reduce environmental impacts across offshore wind sites.     For us, protecting ocean health is integral to developing offshore wind responsibly. These projects demonstrate how investment can support both the energy transition and marine biodiversity. The next step is to scale investment in solutions that restore nature, support communities, and build resilience🌊    Read more about the biodiversity impact of our blue bond in our ‘Summarised Blue Bond Impacts 2025’: https://lnkd.in/ewA6eZVr
