Sustainability
Our commitment to sustainability
At Pesquerías Belnova, sustainability is the fundamental pillar that guides each of our decisions and activities. We are focused on protecting marine ecosystems and ensuring the conservation of fishery resources, making sure our activity is responsible and enduring for the benefit of future generations.
We adopt innovative technologies and strictly adhere to catch quotas, minimizing environmental impact at every link in our value chain. Our goal is not only to protect the oceans and their biodiversity but also to contribute to the economic development of Uruguay. We generate local employment and support the communities that depend on these resources, strengthening the economy in a context of economic challenges.
At BELNOVA, we understand that sustainability is not just a goal: it is our responsibility and our commitment to the planet, the people, and the communities that are part of our activity.

Efficient ships, responsible operations.
At Pesquerías Belnova, our vessels are the cornerstone of our sustainable operations. Designed to optimize energy consumption and reduce environmental impact, they combine advanced technology with responsible practices that respect the environment and marine resources.
Responsible operations on board.
