Safeguarding oceans and marine life by assessing companies’ actions to halt and reverse marine ecosystem loss.

WBA measures how the world’s leading companies contribute to the sustainable management of our oceans and coastal ecosystems and ensure responsible social practices are implemented.

The 125 companies selected for assessment in the Ocean Benchmark are part of the 750 companies assessed in the Nature Benchmark. The companies spread across a wide range of industries, including seafood, maritime transport, offshore wind energy, shipbuilding, port operation, apparel, chemicals and more. The Ocean Benchmark has 47 indicators that are split across four measurement areas: Governance, Ecosystems and biodiversity, Social responsibility, and Core Social Indicators.
