Message from the CEO
With the commitment that defines us, I am pleased to share with you the sixth Landes Sustainability Report for 2024. This document highlights the progress we have made and the challenges we continue to face as a company, within the framework of an increasingly responsible and transparent management approach that is engaged with our environment.
2024 was marked by significant progress for Landes, both in business management and in the consolidation of our organizational culture. In a challenging context, we stayed on course, focusing on efficiency, sustainability, and the development of the people who make this company possible.
At the same time, the mussel business in Chiloé processed over 31,000 tons of raw material, consolidating its operations thanks to a modern and efficient plant, a committed team, and wise investment decisions. In contrast, salmon by-product processing decreased, despite implementing key improvements in quality and costs, as well as establishing a Cargo Consolidation Station in Puerto Montt.
These achievements would not have been possible without the organizational evolution that we are promoting. This year, we strengthened our teams with new talent, promoted a culture more open to change, and made progress in preparing succession plans for critical positions, especially in Talcahuano. This transformation is aligned with a vision of operational excellence, which today permeates all areas of the company, resulting in lower costs, greater efficiency, and a cross-functional digitalization that continues to move forward.
We are also responsibly addressing the challenge of attracting and retaining talent in a changing work environment.
We implemented improvements in people management and actively responded to new regulatory requirements, such as the Karin Law, which calls for significant cultural change.
People’s safety has always been a top priority for Landes. Throughout the year, we reinforced our health and safety campaigns, training, and activities focused on the care and well-being of all our teams.
Finally, we ended the year facing some tough challenges with realism. The limited availability of raw materials has significantly impacted one of our business areas, and the ongoing legislative debate over the new Fisheries Law is generating uncertainty that we are closely monitoring.
Even so, we look to the future with determination. We are ready to face the challenges that lie ahead in 2025 and will act wisely in response to legislation that lack technical foundations and transparency.
At the same time, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening our operations, our people, and our dedication to the social and environmental dimensions of our business.
