oUR sUSTAINABILITY

Nurturing the nets that will sustain future generations

WE ARE COMMITTED TO CREATING A BETTER FUTURE

Sustainability is a fundamental pillar for us, and we are committed to working in ways that positively impact people, society, and the environment.

We are guided by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): our collective approach and the care we extend to every member of our community are reflected in our mission to promote a healthier environment (SDG 3), ensure decent working conditions (SDG 8), reduce inequalities (SDG 10), and foster sustainable partnerships (SDG 17).

Our dedication to innovation and efficiency aligns with responsible consumption (SDG 12) and sustainable progress (SDG 9), without compromising the needs of future generations.


These values are our compass, guiding us even in times of change and challenge, helping us build lasting relationships and contribute to a fairer and more sustainable world.


In 2025, we continue our journey hand in hand with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable fishing in the care of marine resources and ecosystems

Sustainable fishing plays a crucial role in protecting marine resources and ecosystems, ensuring that different fish populations are managed responsibly, allowing them to regenerate naturally. It is essential for maintaining ocean balance and preserving their ecological functions for future generations. The sustainable approach reduces environmental impact, ensuring that fishing does not compromise biodiversity or the health of marine habitats. Initiatives such as those by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) raise awareness about the importance of consuming sustainably sourced seafood.

Importance of the Blue Label

The blue label, MSC, identifies seafood products that follow fishing practices that minimize damage to the ecosystem and protect endangered species. This helps ensure that fish populations remain healthy and available to meet the growing food demands of an expanding global population
