Environmental concerns and sustainable actions are integrated in all areas of our value chain.

We are committed with the continuous renewal of our fleet in all the fishing grounds we operate, where oldest vessels are replaced by more efficient vessels to reduce our GHG emissions.
Solar energy production
Two photovoltaic plants have been deployed in Namibia and Vigo, where we already produce more than 1,500 MwH of solar energy per year.
Water management
Both consumption and withdrawal are managed with the maximum care.
We are shareholders of Rawson Ambiental S.A., company in charge of the proper effluent management coming from our Shrimp processing plant in Rawson (Argentina).
