From the farmer

We were convinced ASC would have an impact. And this has proven to be the case in the last year, especially in the Netherlands.

the ASC certification benefits our reputation in the market. Market players now proactively approach us.

We became involved with ASC because we believed in it right away.

ASC certification is a global label and a way of providing open accountability. Adhering to strict environmental standards is an investment in the future of the business.

The ASC programme enables us to demonstrate that our farms do not adversely impact the environment or local communities.

To be able to meet the ASC standard we had to make changes in how we clean the water from the ponds. ASC requires, for example, sedimentation ponds and waste water channels to improve water quality.

Since achieving ASC certification we have been able to get more orders despite the many challenges that the pangasius industry has faced.

Having ASC certification really allows us to instil pride in our organisation and to instil operational excellence in what we do.

When you are ambitious to certify under ASC, then you are in the 'world championship'.

ASC certification allows us to prove to our customers that we are a company that is true to our commitment to responsible aquaculture.

Consumers who prefer responsible farmed salmon will be increasingly common.

Our aim is to offer a full range of ASC certified products to existing and new clients in all international markets.

By meeting the ASC standard, we are protecting our environment, being recognised for our responsible production and adding value to our product.

Our customers not only want a quality product but they also want assurance that the products they are buying are responsibly produced.

From a family and business perspective we chose ASC certification because it is the right thing to do for all shrimp lovers.

It is our obligation to act responsibly and to do the right thing. I've seen the debilitating impact of not doing things properly.

ASC certificatiopn allows us to prove to our customers that we are committed to responsible aquaculture.

ASC certification validates our ongoing effort to directly improve the quality of our products, minimise the negative impacts on the environment, and provide a healthy workplace for the development of our employees.

You can feel a strong sense of pride in our people that we achieved ASC certification. They like being a part of it.

What certification does is differentiate you and give credence to those who are doing it well.

ASC certification helps you to access export markets and farmers can be confident of a more secure production.
