2018 Key Event SOF’s first transaction

SOF made its first investment in Kampachi Farms, Mexico, which sees the development of offshore aquaculture as an urgent environmental matter as well as a considerable economic opportunity. The Company sustainably produces high-quality fish and respects nature at its offshore sites by using innovative biological and engineering solutions and working closely with regulators and the conservation community. The fish is raised in deep water pens four miles off the coast and will be available on the international market in early 2019.

Development of the circular economy 6.3.3.4 ODD 12 : Responsible consumption and production AEW chairs the Circolab non-profit created in February 2018 to promote the circular economy in the construction and real estate sector and in particular to encourage the reuse of materials via various initiatives: publication of reuse guidelines, promotion of best practices, development of shared tools, creation of an ecosystem of real estate sector players. Circolab currently has around thirty members (public and private sector contracting authorities, construction firms, building materials manufacturers, project managers, associations).

In 2018, it finalized several reports, including a guide on reuse in partnership with the Fédération Française de l’Assurance (French Insurance Federation) and specifications on assessing existing buildings for reuse with the Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (a government organization providing research into innovation in the construction industry). A reuse assessment was performed on all renovation projects over 2,000 m². In 2019, Circolab will continue to expand, increasing the number of members and pursuing its work, in particular on Building Information Modeling and maintenance.
