This week, Cermaq Chile became the first salmon producer in Chile to achieve certification against the extensive ASC Standard for responsible aquaculture. The certification was achieved at Cermaq Chile’s site Unicorno Sur, located in the region of Magallanes (Region XII) in the southern part of Chile.
Cermaq’s mission is sustainable aquaculture, and the company works systematically with initiatives, systems and routines that strengthens the sustainability and increases the transparency of the company’s operations. The certification in Chile is a result of this systematic work, and confirms that Cermaq is on the right path.
– To Cermaq, with such a large part of our operations in Chile, it is very gratifying that our first ASC certification is achieved here, says Jon Hindar, CEO of Cermaq. I am proud of the work our Chilean colleagues have done in this area. In parallel, we are also working towards ASC certification of our sites both in Norway and Canada.
