Thai Union Group, the world’s leading seafood producer, has secured a landmark US$150 million Blue Loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) - a first-of-its-kind financing in Thailand’s seafood industry

The loan sets a new standard for sustainable finance in aquaculture and supports Thai Union’s SeaChange 2030 strategy toward net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

Proceeds will be used to expand the company’s sustainable shrimp procurement in Thailand, sourcing from farms certified under standards like the Aquaculture Stewardship Council, Best Aquaculture Practices or engaged in credible improvement projects.
