Sustainable Fisheries partners with Spanish based Nueva Pescanova Group
The company, which dates back more than 50 years, operates in more than two dozen countries worldwide, and looks forward to working with SFP to improve the sustainability of its supply chain, using various improvement projects and data management tools.
“Working together with SFP is an important step that will help us to be more transparent and contribute more actively in improving the conservation of resources and the rationalization of fishing, a commitment that has been present in the DNA of our company for almost six decades,” said Juanjo De la Cerda, Corporate Director of R&D, Quality and Sustainability of the Nueva Pescanova Group.
Among Nueva Pescanova's accomplishments, the company has established its own sustainable fishing certificate, audited by Bureau Veritas for hake catches in Namibia.
“Nueva Pescanova has a history in the seafood industry in Spain and globally,” said Pedro Ferreiro, SFP’s Deputy Director, Buyer Engagement. “We are certain that Pescanova’s engagement will inspire other companies worldwide to follow its lead toward a more sustainable future.”
The Sustainable Fisheries Partnership Foundation – known as Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) – is a nonprofit organization dedicated to rebuilding depleted fish stocks and reducing the environmental and social impacts of fishing and fish farming through engaging fishery stakeholders (communities, NGOs, government, etc.) and seafood businesses in every part of the supply chain.
Nueva Pescanova Group is a leading Galician multinational specialized in the capture, cultivation, production and commercialization of seafood products. Founded in 1960, it employs more than 12,000 people and operates in 27 countries on four continents. Pescanova sells its products in more than 80 countries around the world.
