Life at Benchmark
I am very pleased and honored to be a part of the Benchmark family and to have the opportunity to work with all of the professional and talented people across the business area. The best part of my job is to ensure that our valuable customers across the globe get access to high quality ova from our production sites here in Iceland. These eggs are the starting point of the production cycle, and therefore crucial to our customers. We are definitely contributing to the growth of the industry, and helping our customers combat challenges related to diseases and sea lice.
I have worked for Benchmark for around 4 years, and INVE (Benchmark Advanced Nutrition) has always been a very attractive company to work for, especially for those who come from an aquaculture background, which is my case. I did part of my PhD at the University of Ghent in Belgium, and from there the job opportunity at Benchmark came up and I grabbed it! The team all have different backgrounds, ages and cultures, and are based throughout the world, such as Belgium, Italy and Thailand. That makes it a very diverse team, we have a good dynamic, with open and kind communication, which makes us work very well together. They are the best!I am also the employee representative for Benchmark, which is very exciting role that enables me to bring the voice of all colleagues to the higher management, and provides the opportunity for me to see the business from a different perspective.
Benchmark for Better
Through the Benchmark for Better initiative, we fund community-level projects in three key areas: education, environment and animal welfare in aquaculture. [link to sustainability pages] We allocate charitable donations to projects designed to deliver positive change for people and the environment in the communities surrounding Benchmark’s operations across the globe.
As part of the initiative, our team in Wachirabarami, Thailand, organised a project to support sustainability and safety in the region. They planted 170 trees at a local primary school and donated fire extinguishers, sports and medical equipment and waste bins, amongst other resources. The team also painted the school and provided training on fire extinguisher use and waste separation.
Through our support of the Mama Magda Aquaculture Fund, run by Ghent university, we continue to contribute to educating the next generation of aquaculture researchers, farmers, producers and specialists in developing countries.
Across the Group, we have supported City Harvest – a charity that donates food as surplus stock from suppliers and redistributes it to those in need – and the Afghan Crisis Appeal, through the donation of nappies, sanitary products and underwear. Elsewhere, our tilapia team in Miami donates fish with an estimated market value of US$26.400 every year to local communities of low income immigrants.
Everyone who works at Benchmark are eligible to take 2 paid volunteering days a year, to devote to helping a charity, we hope that this will help you to make a positive impact on your community, and let you share your skills, knowledge and time
