ESG

When Sargassum washes ashore and decomposes, it releases methane - a potent greenhouse gas that accelerates climate change.

We take a preventative approach, intercepting Sargassum before it breaks down and converting it into climate-positive products. These products lock up carbon and enhance soil capacity as a long-term carbon sink when applied.

Our processing methods are designed around low-carbon, sustainable principles - utilising renewable energy where possible, and adhering to circular economy values at every stage.

When Sargassum accumulates near shore, it can create oxygen-depleted “dead zones” - a widespread issue that drives coastal ecosystem collapse.

We mitigate this through targeted near-shore harvesting and containment, reducing accumulation pressure before ecological damage occurs.

Beyond mitigation, our approach supports long-term marine net gain - enhancing habitat complexity, creating nursery environments for marine life, and helping restore resilient coastal ecosystems.

Sargassum inundation events in Barbados have led to declines of up to 52% in certain fishery activities - undermining a critical source of livelihoods and food security.

These events have also disrupted desalination operations, placing essential water security infrastructure at risk.

We address these challenges both directly and systemically. Through targeted removal and containment, we reduce immediate impacts on coastal systems and infrastructure.

At the same time, our proprietary processing technology transforms Sargassum into a valuable resource - diversifying income streams, creating jobs, and strengthening economic resilience.

A truly ESG- and community-first organisation delivers more than environmental and economic value - it actively invests in the long-term wellbeing and development of the communities it operates within.

We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities through internships, educational outreach, and inclusive employment. Our focus extends beyond job creation to continuous personal and professional development - investing in training, skills-building, and career progression.

By supporting individual growth, we strengthen the broader community - creating lasting social impact alongside environmental and economic returns.

We don’t see Cody as an organisation - we see it as a movement. A movement for environmental responsibility, corporate transparency, and circular economies.

Too often, these principles are viewed as costs. We challenge that narrative through practical execution and measurable results. Sustainability is not the expense - inaction is.

We are building partnerships with organisations and individuals who share this vision. Through our collective, we aim to bring together stakeholders under a model of shared environmental and social responsibility - driven by carbon incentives, knowledge exchange, and genuine collaboration.

Together, we turn impact into opportunity.

Coastal economic output can decline by ~13% during severe Sargassum inundation events, with public and private sector cleanup costs reaching millions annually.

We address both the symptoms and the system. Through targeted removal, containment, and capture, we mitigate the severity of inundation events and reduce reliance on costly shoreline clean-ups.

At the same time, we create alternative economic opportunities - such as payment schemes for fishermen during peak events - helping stabilise incomes while mobilising local capacity as part of the solution.

The result is a more resilient coastal economy, better equipped to withstand and adapt to recurring Sargassum influxes.

Our products enhance crop yields and livestock survival by reducing environmental stress and improving nutrient utilisation.

This translates directly into increased revenue for agricultural producers - delivering measurable improvements in yield and growth rates within days to weeks of application.

Over the long term, continued use drives soil regeneration and sustained financial gains. Healthy soils can fix up to 65 kg of nitrogen per hectare, compared to ~25 kg in degraded soils—reducing synthetic nitrogen requirements by up to 40 kg/ha.

Environmentally, the impact is equally significant. While degraded soils have limited capacity to store carbon, healthy soils play a critical role in climate mitigation - contributing substantially to the carbon sequestration needed to address global warming.

Sargassum influxes are estimated to reduce return tourism by up to 12%, accounting for approximately 5–6% of total tourism in Barbados.

This equates to an annual economic loss of around $46.4 million.

We work to reduce this impact by minimising Sargassum landings through targeted interception and by developing eco-tourism opportunities that transform a challenge into a value-generating asset for the local economy.
