Sustainability

Building a stronger future through responsible sourcing, quality production and long-term thinking.

Begin with the principle
Our position

We respect nature because our business depends on it.

Seafood production begins with a living resource. That makes restraint, careful selection and long-term operational decisions practical responsibilities—not campaign language.

Our approach is measured through the way we choose suppliers, manage certified supply chains, operate the Engure site and improve what can be improved.

01 / Responsible sourcing

Quality begins with the right supply relationships.

Raw materials are selected against the requirements of the product and supply programme. Diplomats works with established suppliers and develops relationships intended to support consistency, documentation and dependable planning over time.

Certification is used where it applies. It does not replace supplier assessment, material controls or the judgement required at intake.

02 / Marine resources

Healthy fisheries matter beyond the next catch.

Future seafood production depends on fish populations being managed for the long term. For applicable products and supply chains, MSC certification provides an independently assessed framework for responsible fishery and chain-of-custody claims.

We state that scope carefully: the MSC mark is used only where the product and supply chain are covered by the confirmed certification.

03 / Responsible production

Practical choices inside a working factory.

Progress comes through real infrastructure, controlled processes and repeated operational decisions.

On-site solar generation

The solar installation at Engure generates renewable electricity on site and supports the energy needs of production.

LNG in production

Liquefied natural gas is the primary production fuel. It is a comparatively lower-emission conventional industrial fuel, not a final destination.

Efficient technology

Investment decisions consider dependable production, resource use and the practical reduction of avoidable loss.

Long-life formats

Canned formats support dependable storage and distribution. Their long shelf life can help reduce premature food disposal when handled correctly.

These measures do not make production impact-free. They show where current operations have changed and where continued improvement remains necessary.

04 / Food safety and quality

Responsible production must also protect the product.

Food safety, consistent quality and traceability reduce uncertainty and help prevent avoidable loss. At Engure, defined controls connect raw-material intake, production records, laboratory decisions, packaging and batch release.

HACCP

Systematic food-safety controls are built into production.

IFS Food

Independent auditing examines the food-safety and quality-management system.

MSC

Claims apply only to products and supply chains within confirmed certification scope.

FDA

The facility maintains registration for applicable US commercial activity; registration is not product approval.

05 / Packaging

Improve the pack without weakening its purpose.

Packaging protects food through production, transport, storage and use. Any change therefore has to be assessed against food safety, shelf life, product quality and the realities of international distribution.

Our work is continuous: examine materials and formats, test what is practical, and improve where a change can be made responsibly. We do not claim that one format solves every impact.

06 / People and place

Knowledge stays alive through people.

SIA Unda is a long-term employer in Engure. Experienced specialists carry practical knowledge across production, quality, engineering and logistics, while new colleagues bring the skills needed for modern food manufacturing.

Our responsibility to the local community begins with stable work, safe processes and respect for the place where production has developed for more than a century.

08 / Looking ahead

There is no final sustainability milestone.

Technology, materials, energy systems and fishery knowledge continue to change. Our task is to assess those changes carefully and invest where they strengthen both responsible operation and dependable production.

  1. 01Measure current operations before making broader claims.
  2. 02Improve technology where evidence supports a practical benefit.
