GSSI WELCOMES PROFAND

GSSI welcomes Profand to its Global Partnership. The Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative is pleased to announce that Profand Fishing Holding has joined GSSI as a Funding Partner.

“At Profand Fishing Holding we understand sustainability as a commitment to creating economic, social, and environmental value for all our stakeholders in order to generate positive impact and to contribute to the social development and care of our planet. Joining GSSI provides us with an international platform for collaboration around fishing sustainability and the certification of seafood. By being a part of GSSI, we generate confidence in our consumers that the certified products we eat can be sustainable, and that we can continue to strive to live in harmony with our natural environment” said Antonio Alvarez, Head of Sustainability at Profand.
