At BioMar, we actively engage our entire value chain as we believe we can create a far-reaching impact on the world through Capacity Building, which lies at the core of all resilient societies. 
We provide training courses and development programmes for employees, farmers and communities. We actively engage in third-party agricultural and fishery improvement programmes and supplier improver initiatives. Through these initiatives, we aim to directly enable 100,000 people annually by 2030. 
We promote human and labour rights through initiatives like responsible pay and diversity targets. Through innovation, we create aquafeeds that enable people to make healthier and more sustainable food choices. We continue our commitment to actively participate in the public debate about sustainable nutrition.
