CORPORATESOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The philosophy of Mariscos Apolo is rooted in the awareness of corporate social responsibility, so for years we have been implementing various policies that encompass the entire value chain of the company.
“Creating a strong business and building a better world are not contradictory goals: both are indispensable ingredients for long-term success”.
These are words of William Clay Ford Jr. with which we at Apollo Seafood could not agree more.
ENVIRONMENT
We take the sustainability of our planet very seriously so that future generations can enjoy all the benefits that it currently brings to us. For this reason, at Mariscos Apolo, we only work with environmentally responsible companies that carry out sustainable fishing and production. For this reason, our team periodically visits the facilities of the different suppliers and verifies that the procedures used take care of the environment and promote the sustainability of the species.
In addition, Congelado Apolo S.L. is a member of ECOEMBES, an organization that takes care of the environment through the recycling and eco-design of packaging in Spain. Every year we submit to this organization a packaging declaration through which we control and verify the effective fulfillment of the established prevention objective. Packaging waste represents a considerable volume of the total waste generated in society. Caring for the environment is everyone’s job.
