Prize “Aguas de plata“

This weekend, the premium fruit and vegetable brand SanLucar received a very special recognition, the “Aguas de Plata” Award for its support to the Palos de la Frontera Irrigation Community in the framework of the activities of the multinational company for water management in the south of Spain. Water is a scarce natural resource that requires supportive management to ensure its rational and balanced use. Palos de la Frontera, like SanLucar, is committed to water efficiency and the sustainable use of this precious resource.

“Together with many partners, such as the Comunidad de Regantes Palos de la Frontera, we have a common goal: Our desire to do things in a way that we can be proud of, especially when it comes to the use of the vital resource water. At SanLucar we are always on the lookout for ways to optimize its use, both in our crops in Spain and worldwide”, explains Armin Rehberg, CEO of SanLucar. He adds: “As a member of the global organization Alliance for Water Stewardship (AWS), achieving even more sustainable and water-efficient irrigation in the future is our top priority. The Global G.A.P. SPRING program and the international AWS standard certify our commitment to water efficiency. We do not just talk, we act”.

In a ceremony that took place last Saturday in Spain -coinciding with the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Irrigation Community – Sonia Mallén, Director of Quality & Sustainability at SanLucar collected the acknowledgement. She was accompanied by the SanLucar Quality team in Huelva, where the company grows several of its fruits.As she stated: “With the support of Palos de la Frontera, together we can contribute to a more sustainable use of water. It is an honor for us to give our full support to this organization that works for a fair and solidarity based distribution of water that benefits everyone.
