Partnerships
Aquaculture faces complex, interconnected challenges that require collaboration across the value chain. We work with partners to develop and scale practical solutions that support the long-term resilience of the sector.
“The challenges facing aquaculture require strong collaboration across the value chain. By working closely with customers, suppliers, and industry partners, we are accelerating solutions that improve fish health, advance responsible sourcing, and reduce environmental impact. Together, we are helping build a more transparent, resilient, and sustainable aquaculture sector.”

Partnership highlights from 2025
Accelerating collaboration with a new SeaBOS
We continue to take pride in our role with the Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship organization, which brings together leading global aquaculture companies, scientists, and other experts to support greater sustainability in seafood production and a healthy ocean. Helene Ziv-Douki, Leader of Cargill Animal Nutrition & Health – EMEA & Global Salmon, serves as the chair of SeaBOS. During 2025, she worked with other members to lead an assessment of how the organization can continue to drive positive impact in the sustainability areas of greatest importance to all involved.
The result for 2026 will be a reimagined SeaBOS with a model, structure, and core pillars designed to strengthen delivery, increase accountability, and drive measurable impact in these priority areas. This includes topics like reducing illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and eliminating modern slavery. Cargill continues to provide leadership and technical expertise for the SeaBOS task force on this topic. Another example of SeaBOS’s action is the task force on antimicrobial resistance, which is an important issue for both animal and human health. Recent activities on these and other topics can be found in SeaBOS’s latest biennial Impact Report.
As Cargill transitions out of our role as chair in late 2026, we are excited to see the acceleration enabled by this new approach for SeaBOS and eager to continue lending our support and expertise.
Sharing knowledge in Ecuador’s shrimp sector
As Ecuador continues to be a vital shrimp producer and exporter for the global aquaculture market, we are a member of the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP). This platform brings together Ecuadorian producers and stakeholders to promote responsible shrimp farming through best practices across the value chain, both in Ecuador and internationally. In 2025, we contributed to this knowledge-sharing by participating in events for both industry leaders and technical experts. These sessions covered a range of topics such as animal nutrition, healthy and functional diets, and technologies like automatic feeders.
