Sustainability drives every aspect of our business
At Cweed Aqua Solutions Sdn. Bhd., we are committed to promoting sustainable seaweed cultivation practices that contribute positively to our
environment, communities, and the global food system.
Seaweed is one of the most sustainable crops on the planet—it requires no freshwater, fertilisers, or pesticides to grow.
Through our sustainability efforts, we focuses on the ocean health & restoration, zero-input farming, blue carbon & carbon sequestration and
supporting local communities through seaweed cultivation. We are working closely with the Universiti Malaya for the research & innovation to
optimise seaweed cultivation practices, improve yields, and expand the potential applications of seaweed.
We also partner with environmental organisations, universities, and scientific institutions to ensure that our operations are both efficient and
environmentally sound. By aligning with nature’s cycles, we believe that seaweed cultivation represents a sustainable solution for food
production, environmental restoration, and economic growth. We are proud to play a part in cultivating a greener future for our oceans and our
planet
Supporting Local Communities
We collaborate with coastal communities to promote sustainable
livelihoods through seaweed cultivation. By providing training, practical
solutions and fair pricing, we ensure that local farmers benefit from the
growing global demand for seaweed, enhancing food security and
economic development in their regions.

Key Impact Areas for Sustainability
Ocean Health &
Restoration
Seaweed cultivation helps restore ocean
health by absorbing excess carbon
dioxide and nitrogen from the water,
mitigating ocean acidification, and
improving water quality. Our farms act as
marine habitats, fostering biodiversity by
providing shelter and food for various
marine species.
Zero-Input
Farming
Unlike traditional agriculture, seaweed cultivation requires no land, freshwater,
or artificial inputs. Seaweed thrives by
naturally absorbing nutrients from the
surrounding water, which helps combat
nutrient pollution in coastal areas.
Blue Carbon & Carbon Sequestration
Blue carbon’ refers to the carbon
sequestered by marine ecosystems.
Seaweeds are considered relatively easy to
grow with a short farming cycle. Seaweed is
a powerful tool in the fight against climate
change. We are dedicated to exploring
innovative ways to leverage seaweed’s
ability to sequester carbon and contribute
to climate resilience.
Our efforts reflect our mission and values, advancing progress toward these crucial Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
