SUSTANABILITY STRATEGY

In Laumar we believe that companies have the duty of generating a positive impact, beyond making profit, seeking to impact positively in our closest stakeholders and minimizing the negative impact that as a company we generate due to our operations.

In our sector, we live from what the sea gives us; fish. A sector where the definition of what sustainability is has more sense than ever: satisfiying the needs of the present without compromising the hability of future generations to satisfy their own needs (Definition of the Brundtland Comission of the United Nations, 1987). We believe that it is necessary to foster the sustainability in the sector in order to ensure its survival.

For this reason, we have created our own sustanability strategy called LAUMAResponsable, through which we bet for our own contribution to the Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de las Naciones Unidas , to ensure that we contribute and we are aligned with the Agenda 2030 and that we work to solve the current sustainability challenges.

The basis of our sustanability strategy is our mision, vision and values.

Our mision, our engine: We seek to offer, in a responsible way and by means of a personalized service, a wide range of fish and seafood of the best quality and at a good price.

Our vision, where do we want to stand in the long run: We want to be a leading company in Spain in the supply of fresh fish and seafood of great quality, and to be recognised by the sector for our environmental and social commitment.

Our values, our guide:

  • oTradition: We mantain our tradition in the distribution and sale of seafod from Galicia.
  • o Innovation: We work in order to offer the best and more innovative solutions for our clients.
  • o Sustainability: We count on the transition of our business model in order to turn it into a more responsible model that protects the environment and the people.
