03Why blue
The ocean opportunity
Regenerative resources.
Biological possibility.
Marine bioscience connects the potential of ocean resources with practical industrial applications.
Macroalgae, microalgae, marine minerals, collagen and chitosan are starting points for innovation across our businesses. Each resource offers different functions and opportunities for technology development.
Marine biology provides the intelligence. Science, technology and industrial infrastructure make it commercially usable.
04Our design principle
Designed Around
Human Biology™
Better products.
Built around people.
Health. Vitality. Longevity. Flourishing.
Human needs shape the applications we select, the functionality we develop and the evidence we require across our businesses.
