Social accountability Environmental accountability

“We have better disease control, better

control of risks related to environmental

pollution, escapes and safety in the

workplace. And more effective

communication with the local community.”

Nguyen Khanh Ngoc,

Quality Assurance Manager, Thuan An Farm

“We had to improve the water inlet

system, reinforce embankments, create

ponds for water treatment and improve

the kitchen and accommodation for

employees.”

Mr. Sombat Siripanwarapon, Head of Fish Business

Unit, CP Vietnam Corporation

“Savings are made with reduced feed

costs and a significant increase in fish

survival rates. As a result of certification,

processing plants signed cooperation

contracts.”

President Tsai Ah-Yui,

Nan Ying Aquaculture

Association

“We also concentrated a lot of effort on

evaluating the farm site, carrying our

environmental impact assessments and

carrying capacity calculations to ensure

that the area’s resources could sustain

the farm without negative impact.”

Alejandro Tola Alvarez,

Chief Technical Officer, Trapia Malaysia, GenoMar AS

“It is essential that we fully understand

the ecology of the mangrove environment

so we can restore hydrology and other

environmental conditions. For example,

two hectares of the farm is used to

develop and restore the ecology of the

riverside.”

Mr. Nha Nguyen, Deputy Director, UT XI Aquatic

Products Processing Corporation

“We breed our shrimp extensively. Only four post-larvae are added per square metre, the shrimp grow naturally simply eating what the mangroves provide and we don't use any chemicals or antibiotics. The quality of the water and health of our shrimp is of paramount importance and this is monitored through regular testing.” Đặng Văn Út, Quality Manager, Thadimexco

“In preparation to meet the ASC

standards we provided education and

training for staff, improved our record

keeping and replaced all of our copper

treated nets. We also carried out more

extensive benthic surveys and introduced

more comprehensive, regular auditing

and reporting procedures.”

Anne Hilde Midttveit, Quality, Environment & CSR,

Lerøy Seafood Group

© NSC, Johan Wildhagen

“What sets ASC apart is the transparency and the high level of

stakeholder engagement. To achieve ASC certification, a

company has to pay close attention to its impact on habitats,

wildlife, water quality, the health of the fish as well as the local

communities ”

Linda Sams, Head of Sustainability, Tassal
