SUSTAINABILITY

Our Sustainability Approach

Sustainability is key to delivering on our commitment to feed the world through the development of innovative products and solutions that support safe and sustainable aquaculture. Our approach brings our employees together, bound by a clear set of goals and actions to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.

Our strategy

Grobest’s sustainability strategy is built around 5 pillars: Governance, Ethics and Compliance, Innovation, Responsible Sourcing, Sustainable Operations, and People & Culture. These pillars embody the most material areas that impact our business, and we strive to reduce our risks while setting an ambitious roadmap towards realizing our vision of being the Asian leader in sustainable biotech functional feeds for shrimp and fish, helping farmers succeed through our innovation in animal health and technical solutions.

Our focus areas

A materiality assessment is the cornerstone of a robust sustainability strategy as it helps assess an organisation’s impact on the economy, the environment and society. Through this lens we are better positioned to consider the significance of various ESG factors to Grobest’s stakeholders, as well as their importance to our business.

Our 2022 materiality assessment confirms this and we intend to continue to engage our key stakeholders to address material risks as they evolve.

Our approach to ESG Governance

Good corporate governance is the foundation of how we operate as a company. The Grobest Executive Committee and its Senior Leadership Team’s professional experience and strong industry knowledge are key to accelerating the company’s sustainable growth. Comprised of experts from the world of animal nutrition, aquaculture, biotechnology and other professional backgrounds, this combined expertise of the team enables Grobest’s global reach.

Grobest’s ESG Committee manages and oversees Group-wide sustainability policy and performance to ensure sustainable business practices. This includes reviewing and approving strategies, policies, action plans, initiatives, targets, and performance in material ESG areas, such as product-related matters, supply chain sustainability, environmental compliance, health and safety, workplace policies, ethical business practices, and industry collaboration.

Industry Standards and Partnership

At Grobest, we strive to ensure that the products and services we provide achieve economic, environmental and societal benefits. We continuously review our policies and practices to ensure alignment with industry standards and best practices, including recognised certifications such as Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), ISO 22000 and HACCP. We work closely with government agencies and trade associations in the markets where we operate, to elevate sustainable business practices and to drive change through advocacy and partnerships. As a member of Seafood Task Force since 2016, we work together with other like-minded members from the industry to address labour and illegal fishing issues in the seafood supply chains by identifying, evaluating and remediating social and environmental risks. Grobest participates in various Seafood Task Force sub-group initiatives such as those focused on the implementation of supply chain oversight and continuous improvement programs.
