Planet Heritage Foundation
Description of entity:
A collaborative grant making and impact investing foundation focused on climate, marine, biodiversity, animal welfare and food. Planet Heritage Foundation developed and launched Aligned Intermediary. Tracey Durning is the Executive Director, as well as Co-Founder of Aligned Intermediary. PHF also developed and launched Oceans Five, an international funders collaborative that seeks to protect the planet’s five oceans. The organization gives new and experienced funders an effective platform to collectively target their assets (funding, knowledge, networks and influence) towards solutions for greater impact and scale. There are currently eleven Oceans 5 Partners including PHF, Oak Foundation, Bloomberg Philanthropies, Waitt Foundation, and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation.
Relevant funding priorities: marine conservation, climate change, sustainable development
Rationale for categorization: While there is clear alignment between the Foundation’s stated priorities and the objectives of the CLME+ project it is difficult to glean from their website much about their way of working/geographic priorities, etc. It may be more fruitful to engage directly with the members of the Oceans 5 partnership.

Rockefeller Asset Management
Description of entity:
In partnerships with Credit Suisse, launched in October 2020 the 212M Ocean Engagement Fund is an impact strategy to advance acheievement of SDG14.
Relevant funding priorities: Pollution prevention, carbon transition, ocean conservation.
Rationale for categorization: High degree of thematic overlap, however, this fund is likely targeting a class of investment not likely to be available in the region.
Scale of activities investment: According to its website, “Investment decisions for the fund will be driven by the belief that the industry is increasingly differentiating between “best-in-class” companies and companies showing the greatest improvements in their overall ESG footprint. In this fund, improvement is in the context of ocean health. “Improvers” tend to be the most undervalued and provide investors with the highest potential to generate alpha. Identifying companies in this space and using shareholder engagement can further catalyze change.”
