Real change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. Across the world, BioMar teams are working with local communities to create meaningful impact, whether it’s through education, environmental action or providing essential resources. We focus on turning commitment into action working towards leaving a positive legacy for the future.

Education though open doors

Australia

Behind a successful aquaculture industry there is a well-informed community. BioMar Australia runs an opendoor programme, welcoming schools, industry partners and local groups to learn about responsible feed production. Many visitors are surprised by the level of innovation and sustainability involved, turning that curiosity into understanding, appreciation and support for responsible aquaculture.

Keeping Our Coastlines Clean

Norway

A cleaner ocean starts on land. In Trondheim, BioMar Norway teamed up with local youth sports clubs and a school band for a hands-on beach clean-up during Norway’s official Beach Cleaning Week. Together, they collected 16 bags of rubbish, a rusty bike and even a discarded chair. The initiative not only helped clean the coastline, but also provided funding to the participating groups, proving that looking after the environment can benefit both people and nature.

Bridging The Digital Gap

Chile

Access to technology is essential for modern education. In response to a request from Escuela Rural Pargua’s parent association, BioMar Chile donated laptops to strengthen the school’s computer lab. This builds on previous support provided during the pandemic, ensuring that students have the tools they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.

More Than Just a Bag

Ecuador

The “Bags Full of…” initiative focuses on taking responsibility at work, home and community. In partnership with Grupo Almar, BioMar has spent the year engaging workers and their families in waste management training, beach clean-ups and creative activities that encourage environmental awareness. A children’s art competition added a touch of inspiration, with the winning design printed on feed bags. To top it off, this initiative funded a brand-new playground for the La Unión community, built using a wood-like material crafted from recycled BioMar bags
