Anne Anderson joins Scottish Sea Farms
SCOTTISH Sea Farms has announced the appointment of a new, dedicated Head of Sustainability & Development to spearhead the company’s drive to minimise its environmental impact and maximise its social and economic value to Scotland.
Anne Anderson, former
Chief Officer of Compliance & Beyond at the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) and most recently Sustainability Director at the Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation (SSPO), took up the newly created role on 29 March.
Sustainable development will be a key focus, with Anderson working to evaluate, enhance and advance the company’s social, economic and environmental contribution, helping lay solid foundations for further growth.
Scottish Sea Farms’ Managing Director Jim Gallagher said:“The time feels right to bring in our very own sustainability champion to coordinate the many worthwhile activities already underway, identify where else we could be making a real and positive difference, and accelerate the collective results.
“Anne has worked tirelessly over recent years to introduce a sector-wide sustainability charter and establish the need for a fit for purpose regulatory regime, making her our go-to candidate for this strategic new role. I’m hugely excited to see what we deliver together.”
Commenting on the move, Anderson said:“After two nonstop years at the SSPO, during which I achieved what I set out to do – namely, help the sector identify what would be required for it to develop and grow sustainably – I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and help deliver those advances.”
