Focusing on the central themes in today’s fishery sector

Cornelis Vrolijk is a family business that has developed into an important player in the European fishery sector. Over more than 140 years, Cornelis Vrolijk has built up a reputation as a company that promotes responsible fishing practices and the traceability of their products. Central themes in today’s fishery sector such as sustainability and the protection of the environment are reflected in its sustainability report. CF Report helped Cornelis Vrolijk publish its first sustainability report in 2019 and, since then, we have been working together on further improving this report every year.

Inclusive and people-centric approach

CF Report got on board with Cornelis Vrolijk and led the effort in refining the sustainability strategy, conducting a dual materiality analysis (DMA), and translating the strategy into defined actions and measures, using the OGSM method. Together, we clearly defined the purpose of the fishing business, whereby, going forward, Cornelis Vrolijk will position itself as ”fishers of tomorrow“ with the purpose statement ”Everything we do should contribute to vital seas and healthy lives.” The company works with stakeholders to make fishing and shrimp farming more sustainable and plays its part in meeting the global demand for healthy and affordable food.
