Projects

In 2017 we created our Responsible Procurement System with the aim of extending our responsible management commitments to all our suppliers.

The system was designed in accordance with the parameters of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), an endeavor of the Amfori organization to ensure responsible and sustainable supply chains. We joined Amfori in 2016, being the first company in the canning sector in Spain to do so.

The cornerstone of the system is the Code of Conduct for Suppliers, of mandatory compliance for all of our providers. It includes the eleven BSCI principles, an environmental module for suppliers of tuna, sardines and other seafood products with measures aimed at ensuring stock sustainability and promoting good fishing practices. In this way, it covers all the commitments of the company, on both the social and environmental levels.

On an annual basis, we evaluate all of our suppliers and classify them according to their risk of social and environmental non-compliance. Those posing a higher level of risk undergo audits performed by independent third parties.

In 2010, we launched the Luis Calvo Sanz Social Sports School social project in La Unión (El Salvador) to contribute to the holistic development of children and adolescents through sports, fostering life skills, values, and healthy social interaction. Since then, nearly 4,500 children and adolescents have participated in the initiative. The project currently has three locations—in the town centers of La Unión and Conchagua, and in the community of La Cañada—and also works in partnership with four schools (Victoria Zelaya, El Melonal, La Cañada, and Milagro de Dios). The program benefits approximately 350 participants aged 5 to 14 each year and is implemented in partnership with the NGO Ayuda en Acción.

  1. Promote the holistic development of children and adolescents through sports, strengthening their motor and social skills, as well as values such as respect, cooperation, empathy, and discipline.
  2. Ensure inclusion and equity in participation, promoting gender equality and aiming for approximately 50% participation by girls and adolescents in the program.
  3. To contribute to the protection and well-being of children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, promoting their rights to recreation, education, and health, and preventing situations of violence, teen pregnancy, and gender-based violence in coordination with specialized organizations.
Nauterra Corporate University (previously UNICALVO) was created in 2019 with the aim of promoting enhanced development of abilities, competencies and skills for our employees. The goal is to provide quality training tailored to the needs of each one of the people who work with us. We aspire to be leaders in professional development.

All of our company locations have employee recognition and reward programs in place to acknowledge professional and personal excellence in performance. Beyond formal remuneration, these programs draw attention to the kind of conduct that is sought after within the group by rewarding performance that facilitates the achievement of our organization’s strategic objectives and thereby nurture, for example, teamwork and the pursuit of innovative solutions.
