Other Media | Faro de Vigo: Conxemar Appeals to Sustainability to Attract Investment and Open Markets

SPAIN
Monday, April 07, 2025

"It's a very useful tool, created by Conxemar and Ambical, and it applies to the entire value chain." Conxemar's president, Eloy García, is clear that sustainability is the way forward for the fish processing industry. For this reason, the Fish Nation Foundation, created by the Vigo association last year, presented the first Sustainability Guide for this sector yesterday at the Museo do Mar. In his opinion, this kind of manual of good practices will serve not only to comply with all regulatory requirements, but also to attract talent, investment, and to "open new markets" that, without this "sustainability" label, would not be possible.
