Committed people for a committed company
One of the cornerstones of Roadmap 2025 is to employ talented and passionate professionals. At Skretting, we want committed employees; people who are proud to work for the world leader in aquaculture nutrition, because they are the most important ambassadors of our brand and our global purpose of "Feeding the Future".
Increasing our commitment to the community in an unprecedented year
Throughout 2020, our local teams focused heavily on supporting their communities impacted by COVID-19. In addition to initiatives directly focused on supporting customers, our team at Skretting Ecuador helped more than 10,000 families during 2020. Those families were affected not only by COVID-19, but also by the economic downturn facing Ecuador. Skretting Ecuador joined the government of Guayas and other private companies to implement disinfection tunnels in markets, hospitals and areas with a greater number of citizens with the aim of mitigating contagion.
Training of women and youth in Egypt
At Skretting, we recognise the importance of supporting people in the early stages of their careers and making sure they are given every opportunity to thrive within our organisation. As part of our strategy to find and nurture emerging talent, we are committed to providing challenging opportunities and a framework to guide the career growth of people in all the regions and communities in which we operate.
Code of Conduct for Business Partners
In 2020, we developed a new Code of Conduct for Business Partners, with separate supplements for suppliers of agricultural and marine products. Translated into seven languages, it will help Nutreco and Skretting engage with our business partners on sustainability, compliance and integrity issues, and we will only conduct business with companies or individuals that meet the standards set out in this Code of Conduct.
Ongoing community development with Nigerian catfish farmers
Since 2015, as part of the concept of "creating shared value" adopted by Skretting and its parent company Nutreco to engage with marginalized smallholder farmers in the communities in which we operate, we have been running a project in Ibadan, Nigeria, aimed at generating opportunities through sustainable aquaculture.
