The company vision is built on a triple bottom line philosophy of Social, Environment and Economic sustainability. CPS is positioning to be the largest supplier of premium Pacific seaweed in Canada, via a cooperative model positioned between the farmers and multiple industry channels. The premium dried seaweed(s) grown and processed under the CPS system will participate in a variety of supply chains looking for quantified carbon credits and/or food security.

The integrated approach of CPS ensures that the financial forecasting is low risk with a short capital amortization. The CPS model provides comprehensive site analysis, quality seed stock, farm installation, management plans, harvest resources and pre-sold crops. The farmers will also receive additional revenue from the value-added sales of their seaweed production via CPS activities.
