Corporate Sustainability Implementations
As food insecurity has been on the rise in many areas of the globe, at FCF, we are also committed to constantly improve on our sustainability efforts across our entire operation. We believe that sustainable business practices are not only beneficial to the planet, but also to all our employees, customers and the communities in which we reside in. Ultimately, everything we do is grounded in a greater purpose: to feed lives through the power of the ocean.
