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.
