Ventisqueros reinforces its leadership in sustainability with new logistics solutions and decarbonization goals

  • The company took a new step towards more sustainable aquaculture by incorporating the use of certified biofuel in its salmon export shipments, in collaboration with Andes Integración Logística and the shipping company Hapag-Lloyd.
  •  “Sustainability is not an abstract concept; it is built day by day with strategic decisions, investment in technology, and a systemic view of our operations. Initiatives like these demonstrate that it is possible to move towards world-class salmon farming without compromising the planet we share,” noted Igor Stack, Technical Manager at Ventisqueros.

As part of its 2024 Strategic Decarbonization Plan, Ventisqueros began using certified biofuel in its international shipments, thanks to a partnership with Andes Integración Logística and the shipping company Hapag-Lloyd. With this measure, the company seeks to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 in its GHG emissions (scopes 1, 2, and 3) and immediately reduce CO₂ emissions from shipping by 25%.

“These types of partnerships reflect our commitment to concrete climate action. We know that environmental challenges require cross-cutting responses, and logistics is a critical part of our footprint. Committing to biofuels is not just a technical decision, it is a statement of principles,” said Igor Stack, Technical Manager at Ventisqueros.

This progress complements the achievements already reported in the company’s ESG 2024 Report, which highlights a cumulative reduction of 31% in CO₂ emissions in scopes 1 and 2 since 2019, as well as a 48% decrease in emissions intensity per ton produced. In addition, 79.1% of the energy used by Ventisqueros in 2024 came from non-conventional renewable sources, and the company is ISO 50001 certified for energy efficiency.

“Sustainability is not an abstract concept; it is built day by day with strategic decisions, investment in technology, and a systemic view of our operation. Initiatives like these demonstrate that it is possible to move toward world-class salmon farming without compromising the planet we share,” added Stack.

Ventisqueros has also recovered 97% of its industrial waste, and is making progress towards its Zero Waste program to achieve 100% recovery by 2026, and has maintained 100% renewable electricity supply since 2020 at its processing plant and administrative offices.
