In this role Loyola will oversee all resource management and sustainability issues for the company and actively participate with all stakeholders in advancing the strategic priorities of the company in these areas. He will be responsible to ensure that our main seafood resources are sustainable for the long term and also work towards achieving our corporate objective to have all our fisheries third party accredited by 2013, which is aligned with the priorities of our worldwide customer base.
