An essential part of the role  will be focused on  identifying, understanding  and mitigating  environmental, social and governance risks. He will work closely with every area of the Skretting business and external stakeholders  to deliver on their  sustainability  ambition s and those of our like-minded customers and partners.

Commenting on his appointment, Mr Diaz says, 'Our planet is under a huge amount of pressure, and generating enough healthy, safe and sustainable food to support the world's growing population is an incredible challenge directly linked to our value chain. At Skretting we are optimistic and ambitious in our sustainability journey and I look forward to working with  all my Skretting colleagues towards our purpose of 'Feeding the Future'. With their support, together with customers, suppliers and partners, we can drive the journey towards even more sustainable aquaculture.' 

Skretting was the first aquaculture feed company in the world to report on sustainability – a commitment that it introduced more than 20 years ago. Today, thanks to the considerable expansion and advancement of these endeavours, sustainability is a core focus and embedded in the culture throughout the business.

'Skretting  is continuously  bringing innovative solutions  to  support the  growth of  global aquaculture and we're proud of what we've achieved to date. But the sustainability agenda is evolving  faster than ever before, which in turn means  that we need to further adapt, do more and do better,' says Mr Diaz.

'Skretting is a large, international company with a crucial role to play in providing sustainable food solutions for all. We believe in taking responsibility; it's not  in our nature to shy away from  the  difficult  dilemmas  that we face today or from those that may come  tomorrow  in any one of the regions in which we operate. This means we must be transparent,  identify  where there's room  for improvement, learn, share and then – because no-one can do this alone – collaborate  with  our  value  chain,'  he adds. 

Mr Diaz  joined Skretting as  Communications Manager  in  Chile  in 2015. In 2018, he moved to Skretting HQ in Stavanger, Norway, to take on the role of Brand Director. In the role, Mr Diaz worked closely with former Skretting Sustainability Manager Trygve Berg  Lea and  was inspired by the commitment and dedication of the organisation to meeting ambitious sustainability targets.
