Satlink has been selected as a finalist in the 2024 World Sustainability Awards in the ‘Communications’ category.
The company has been chosen for its promotion of responsible and sustainable fisheries management, highlighting of good practices, and raising awareness on the importance of ocean knowledge and marine conservation.
“We develop technology for better management of oceans and fisheries, and we have the privilege of working with all stakeholders,” said Kathryn Gavira, head of sustainability at Satlink.
The company created its Science and Sustainability department in 2017, aiming to increase knowledge about the oceans, addressing challenges such as illegal fishing, marine pollution and climate change.
The jury also said that Satlink is helping to combat misinformation and fake news about the fishing industry, reaching all stakeholders and encouraging real change through the use of technology.
“It is gratifying to see how communication allows us to amplify the message and reach all audiences through different channels, highlighting the industry’s best practices, forging alliances, and fostering dialogue in the maritime-fishing sector by involving all parties,” said Gavira.
The awards will be presented in Amsterdam this coming October when Satlink will be up against competitors including DBS Bank, Eastman, Grupo Ageas Portugal and fellow Spanish company, Naturgy.
