Across all our industrial processes, we continually strive to minimise our environmental impact by reducing water and electricity consumption, as well as managing and recovering value from the waste we generate. Our sourcing policy is also based on the sustainable use of fishery resources, following the recommendations of leading regulatory bodies and working with fleets that comply with them. Through these efforts, we aim to ensure that our operations are environmentally responsible and sustainable in the long term.

We encourage all Unión Martín employees to feel a sense of ownership of the business, fostering collaboration and engagement at every level of the organisation. A key part of this approach is employee training, both to enhance job performance and to prevent workplace risks, ensuring an ongoing focus on the health and safety of our team.

We recognise that society underpins our success and long-term future. We are therefore committed to giving back in a number of ways.

• Supporting a range of NGOs through financial contributions and product donations.
• Encouraging visits to our facilities by training centres and foundations to enrich the learning experience of students and community groups.
• Reinvesting our profits to continue growing and improving, creating jobs and prosperity in our community.
• Investing in the countries where we have fishing agreements, generating prosperity for local communities.

At Unión Martín, we are firmly committed to quality and to the continuous improvement of our control systems. Every year, we set new targets in Food Safety, Sustainability and Environmental Management to ensure that our systems remain active, dynamic and deliver maximum value.

• For this reason, we have implemented an Integrated Management System in accordance with the requirements of ISO 14001:2015 for environmental management and ISO 9001:2015 for quality management.
• In addition to these certifications, we maintain a close relationship with our main customer, based on an open-book approach that is thoroughly reviewed every four months.
• We are also an intermediate plant for Category 3 animal by-products, making us one of the first companies in the Canary Islands to achieve this status. This enables us to minimise the impact of our waste on society by recovering its value through agreements with processing companies that use these by-products to produce animal feed.

Grupo Ignauro Spain SL, including UNIÓN MARTÍN S.L. as part of the Group, incorporates measures into its management model that promote responsible practices from an environmental, social and governance (ESG) perspective.
