Oh, not by me. No! Although I don't have anything against them. I'm sure they're wonderful guys. But they haven't been welcomed by me. I'm just saying, that's all. 'So who's welcomed them?' SWEN Capital Partners. 'Oh. / PR email, is it, boss?' You bet your ass it is, Voice!
Here we go!
SWEN Capital Partners, a leading player in sustainable private equity investments, continues its commitment to impact with the addition of Christian Lim and Olivier Raybaud, co-founders of Blue Oceans Partners, to its investment team and executive committee. The two new managing directors are committed to financing innovations that have a systemic impact on ocean regeneration.
Bodhi will be pleased. Wherever he is.
Ocean regeneration is one of the major environmental challenges of our time. A sanctuary of biodiversity, the ocean also plays a vital role in the production of oxygen (50% of the oxygen we breathe) and is critical to the fight against climate change, absorbing 93% of the excess heat produced by humans. Without urgent measures to restore severely threatened marine ecosystems, the very foundations of life on Earth may be jeopardized. Additionally, losses to the global economy as a result of seafood shortages and rising sea levels are estimated at $400 billion per year by 2050.
Well, there are other planets. 'Don't be negative, boss.' I'm not being negative. It's a positive thing, man, that ... there are other planets for us to wreck. We just need our Elon to get on and build those bloody rockets of his.
Anyway ... the voices. 'Yippee!' Your favourite part, Voice. 'Yeah.' Mine too.
"We are thrilled to join SWEN Capital Partners, a pioneering investment management company dedicated to sustainable and impact investing," says Olivier Raybaud, co-founder of the SWEN Blue Ocean strategy. "Combining our ocean expertise with the institutional strength of SWEN's investment platform allows us to accelerate the deployment of our strategy and thus respond with even greater ambition to the vast challenges facing our oceans," adds Christian Lim, co-founder of the SWEN Blue Ocean strategy. "We recognize ourselves in the values that SWEN upholds, especially Authenticity and Excellence. These values have been key to the success of our work so far and will continue to do so in the future," affirm the two SWEN CP team members.
Ha, ha, ha! I liked the last bit where they were speaking the exact same words together like those two girls in The Shining. 'Very impressive!' It is!
And, er ... who we got now?
"Following on the success of our first direct impact fund dedicated to renewable gas, we want to continue establishing ourselves as a leading player in the field of impact and sustainable development. Today, we are pleased to expand our impact offerings with the launch of our direct-impact strategy SWEN Blue Ocean, which is fully in line with this approach. The new strategy remains true to our -"
Yeah, yeah. Let me stop you there, Jerome. Thank you. 'He goes on a bit, don't he?' Yeah.
Isabelle?
"SWEN CP is excited to welcome Christian and Oliver, whose knowledge of innovative companies, commitment to the ocean and leadership in the global ocean innovation ecosystem will be key assets for this new impact strategy. We are proud to make a positive contribution to the issues facing marine ecosystems, which are vital for the future and particularly resonate in this year dedicated to biodiversity," adds Isabelle Combarel, Deputy CEO and Head of Business Development and ESG.
Nice one!
Okay, okay. Thanks for all that, everyone!

Anything else?
That Lennon audiobook is keeping me motivated, man. I don't want to hear about our Elon struggling with his cars, and, uh ... rockets. Do you know what I mean? I want to hear about a great bunch of lads heading for the toppermost of the poppermost.
Laters.
