Pesquera Rodriguez, Spain

Pesquera Rodríguez SA, founded in 1940, counts among its assets 27.5% of the cod quotas in North Atlantic waters (Cantabrian Sea, NAFO, Svalbard, Norwegian Economic Zone, among others).

The company guarantees respect for the environment, was the first Spanish fishing company to receive sustainable fishing certification and uses a diesel additive to reduce emissions.

Pesquera Rodríguez has positioned itself as one of the leading companies in the extraction of cod, since its inception, maintaining strict compliance for sustainable fishing (since 2012, it has been certified by the Marine Stewardship Council).

In its intention to offer the highest quality product, it employs a policy of constant technological investment in its production processes. The fleet has an innovative design to prevent spills of non-biodegradable substances (decanters or bilge separators), which demonstrates the company’s commitment to the environment.
