Medical-Fish-Skin Company Kerecis Receives the Premier Sustainability Award for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
ARLINGTON, Va. & REYKJAVIK, Iceland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kerecis, the company pioneering the use of sustainably sourced fish skin and fatty acids in cellular therapy and tissue regeneration, received Premier's Sustainability Award for Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions this week. Members of Premier, the second-largest group purchasing organization in the U.S., selected Kerecis for the prestigious award in recognition of its leading sustainability practices and waste-to-value innovation. 'Sustainability is not a secondary initiative for Kerecis, it's foundational to our business model,' said Fertram Sigurjonsson, Founder and CEO of Kerecis. Share Using 100% renewable energy to power its manufacturing facilities, Kerecis converts cod fish skin, a material traditionally discarded as waste, to high-value medical technology that heals. As part of its operating model, Kerecis leverages electric vehicles for transportation, centralizes distribution for efficiency, and reduces product waste with recycled packaging. Drawing on its greenhouse gas emissions audits (based on ISAE 3000 standards), the company proved that it outperforms its competitors in the medical device industry with significantly lower CO2 emissions. For example, Kerecis' CO 2 emissions per $1,000 of gross revenue are just 0.02 tons (compared to an average of 0.19 tons among competitors). And its CO 2 emissions per full-time employee are just 5 tons (compared to an average of 57.5 tons among competitors). Moving forward, Kerecis will continue to measure its greenhouse gas emissions to minimize its environmental impact, applying the same rigorous data-driven approaches that it uses to measure its medical product efficacy and patient outcomes. Accepting the Sustainability Award at Premier's Breakthroughs 25 Conference in National Harbor, Kerecis' Founder and CEO Fertram Sigurjonsson reaffirmed Kerecis' commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and to delivering sustainably sourced, life-saving products. 'Sustainability is not a secondary initiative for Kerecis, it's foundational to our business model,' said Fertram Sigurjonsson, Founder and CEO of Kerecis. 'We are thrilled to be recognized by Premier for our commitment to responsible manufacturing and for showing that environmental and clinical priorities can align. This award reinforces our approach to building value from resources that would otherwise go to waste.' About Kerecis Kerecis, founded by Fertram Sigurjonsson, develops intact fish skin products for cellular therapy, tissue regeneration, and protection. When grafted onto damaged human tissue or implanted, the patented material supports the body's own processes to heal and regenerate. Because no disease-transfer risk exists between cold-water fish and humans, the Kerecis fish-skin is only gently processed and retains its similarity to human tissue. The gentle processing preserves the skin's original three-dimensional structure, maintaining its inherent natural strength, complexity, and molecules (such as fatty acids). Clinical studies show that Kerecis products heal wounds faster than competitors. Kerecis is the only global manufacturer of medical devices containing intact fish-skin and is the fastest growing company in the U.S. biologics skin market. Products include SurgiBind®/SurgiClose®, GraftGuide®, MariGen®, and Shield™ for various medical applications. Committed to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Kerecis uses sustainably sourced Icelandic fish processed with renewable energy. Kerecis is a part of Coloplast, a leading supplier of intimate healthcare products.

Frequentis (ETR:FQT) Hasn't Managed To Accelerate Its Returns
Finding a business that has the potential to grow substantially is not easy, but it is possible if we look at a few key financial metrics. Firstly, we'll want to see a proven return on capital employed (ROCE) that is increasing, and secondly, an expanding base of capital employed. This shows us that it's a compounding machine, able to continually reinvest its earnings back into the business and generate higher returns. With that in mind, the ROCE of Frequentis (ETR:FQT) looks decent, right now, so lets see what the trend of returns can tell us. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. For those that aren't sure what ROCE is, it measures the amount of pre-tax profits a company can generate from the capital employed in its business. The formula for this calculation on Frequentis is: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.12 = €33m ÷ (€395m - €133m) (Based on the trailing twelve months to December 2024). Therefore, Frequentis has an ROCE of 12%. In absolute terms, that's a pretty normal return, and it's somewhat close to the Aerospace & Defense industry average of 13%. View our latest analysis for Frequentis In the above chart we have measured Frequentis' prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like to see what analysts are forecasting going forward, you should check out our free analyst report for Frequentis . While the current returns on capital are decent, they haven't changed much. Over the past five years, ROCE has remained relatively flat at around 12% and the business has deployed 50% more capital into its operations. Since 12% is a moderate ROCE though, it's good to see a business can continue to reinvest at these decent rates of return. Over long periods of time, returns like these might not be too exciting, but with consistency they can pay off in terms of share price returns. In the end, Frequentis has proven its ability to adequately reinvest capital at good rates of return. And the stock has done incredibly well with a 205% return over the last five years, so long term investors are no doubt ecstatic with that result. So even though the stock might be more "expensive" than it was before, we think the strong fundamentals warrant this stock for further research. Frequentis could be trading at an attractive price in other respects, so you might find our on our platform quite valuable.
