- High Seas Treaty enters into force in January 2026, aiming to address the unchecked exploitation of marine resources.
- We engage with companies on ocean-related themes such as food security, plastic pollution, deep-sea mining and renewable energy.
Overfishing, plastic pollution and global heating pose serious threats to the long-term health of the oceans, potentially jeopardising future food security. The recent ratification of the High Seas Treaty, which aims to address the unchecked exploitation of marine resources, is likely to impact companies across multiple sectors when it comes into force in January 2026.
In EOS’s Q3 2025 Public Engagement Report, EOS engagers Ming Yang, Xinyu Pei and Shoa Hirosato set out some of the key ocean-related challenges and opportunities for companies in the retail and consumer goods, oil and gas, transportation, chemicals and financial services sectors.
Alongside food security, other themes such as plastic pollution, deep-sea mining, alternative shipping fuels and renewable energy, including offshore wind, are explored. “Better management of the risks and opportunities that these companies are exposed to through their value chains will support business resilience and long-term value for investors,” they state.
Also in this report, we look at how the rapid expansion of AI datacentres is placing increasing demands on electricity providers and energy grids. US engagers Velika Talyarkhan and Michael Yamoah explain the challenges, and describe how EOS engages with companies in the utilities, technology, and oil and gas infrastructure sectors to address these issues.
Finally, Shoa Hirosato highlights some of the key trends from this year’s voting season across developed Asia and emerging markets, with updates on board independence, climate disclosure in China, and South Korea’s Value-Up programme.
