SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMME The sea and its well-handed ecosystem have always been our source of inspiration and a resource that we want to protect. We follow a code of ethics which supports the natural balance that nature alone is able to maintain. That’s why we go beyond mere regulations: we know that every harvest season is different from the last and adapt to the needs of the seabed, stopping our harvest as soon as we see the need to respect the pace of natural regeneration.
