The sustainable-development strategy that will be defined for the Group will be reviewed and approved by the Strategic and Scientific Committee. This body has been created to assist and advise Alfesca’s management team in this area as well as other important areas in Alfesca’s business. The scientific committee will include well-known and respected experts in the following fields essential to the Group’s objectives: nutrition & health, microbiology and chemical contamination.

The Strategic and Scientific Committee is chaired by Jacques Estienne, former Anti-Fraud Director in France and agri-food industry expert.

The Committee, which reports directly to the CEO, may be expanded to include other top specialists whenever necessary, in order to update its scientific knowledge continually and to optimise control of production systems.

Sustainable development projects in progress:

• Protection of marine resources
• Recycling of fish waste to produce high-quality food fats
• Research on new packaging
• Employment of disabled people at specifically adapted work stations
• Reduced use of salt
