Integrated Policy

Food safety, quality, environment, occupational risk prevention, human and labour rights

The management and shareholders of GAMBASTAR, a company that imports, processes, markets and distributes fishery and aquaculture products (prawns and shrimp) and develops new products where applicable, recognise the need to continually improve the management of food safety, quality, the environment, occupational risk prevention and human and labour rights. They are committed to implementing an integrated management system in accordance with internationally accepted standards that also demonstrates the improvements achieved.

Our policy provides a framework for setting and reviewing objectives and targets for food safety, quality, the environment, occupational risk prevention and human and labour rights. It is based on the following general principles:

Promote respect for human and labour rights, environmental conservation, a culture of food safety and sustainable economic activities among employees, external collaborators, suppliers, service providers, customers, consumers and other stakeholders, encouraging them to identify with and commit sincerely to these principles.
Establish a responsible, sustainable, flexible, effective and efficient organisation that aligns its commitment to carrying out work with improved performance.
Pursue efficiency and eco-efficiency in commercial and industrial management through digital transformation, with a commitment to the safety of workers and products, pollution prevention and respect for the environment. Share the gains with employees, collaborators, suppliers, customers and the wider community.
Provide the best possible service to earn customers' satisfaction, trust and respect. Comply with applicable legal, regulatory and company requirements on food safety, the environment and occupational risk prevention, and assess satisfaction with GAMBASTAR's products, services and activities through regular communication.
Establish, lead, promote, support and maintain a food safety culture at all levels. Ensure everyone understands the relevant hazards, define roles and responsibilities clearly, foster open communication, seek the commitment of suppliers and collaborators, ensure procedures and controls are followed, and monitor changes so they do not compromise product safety.
Involve all staff in preventing discrimination on grounds of birth, race, sex, religion, opinion or any other personal or social condition or circumstance, and in managing occupational risk prevention. Include contractors, suppliers and collaborators in the active commitment to improving their employees' working conditions.
Fulfil the general duty of prevention by avoiding risks and assessing those that cannot be avoided, giving collective protection priority over individual protection, and planning prevention coherently across technology, work organisation, working conditions, social relations and workplace environmental factors.
Limit the environmental impacts of activities, products and services, particularly discharges, waste and consumption of natural resources. Commit to protecting the environment, preventing pollution and using resources sustainably. To meet these targets as soon as possible, foster a culture of sustainability among employees and collaborators.
Provide planned and ongoing training and information to everyone involved in the integrated management system across all its areas, taking account of changes in laws and standards and advances in science, technology and best practice.
Make continual improvement, a culture of food and occupational safety, quality, authenticity and sustainable development the priorities guiding all company activities. Provide employees and collaborators with the resources needed to work effectively.
Make this policy publicly available and ensure it is appropriate to the organisation's purpose and context and to the nature, scale and environmental impacts of its activities, products and services.

Management accepts ultimate responsibility for defining, applying, managing, reviewing and adapting this Integrated Policy. It delegates implementation, development and updating of the integrated management system to the heads of Technical Management and Human Resources, giving them the autonomy and resources needed. As this work requires more than management alone, it calls for the commitment and participation of GAMBASTAR employees, external collaborators, suppliers, service providers and customers.
