Vår daglige leder, Bente Lund Jacobsen, advarer politiske partier mot å skyte fra hofta når det gjelder skatter og avgifter, spesielt med tanke på konsekvensene for næringslivet.

Bente viser bekymring til de alternative statsbudsjettene som er lagt fram for 2024. Les mer om hvordan hun oppfordrer partiene til å snakke med næringen før endelige beslutninger tas. Med ulike perspektiver fra partiene på skatt og avgiftsregimet, understreker artikkelen behovet for at politikere må forstå konsekvensene av sine forslag og direkte engasjere seg med næringslivet. GATH ønsker en bærekraftig fremtid for arbeidsplasser i distrikts-Norge, og håper at politikerne ønsker det samme.

ESG in ENTEC

ENTEC is an abbreviation for ENvironmental TEChnology and defines our vision to base our business on sustainable technological solutions.

We develop our business in a strategic and sustainable direction where environmenta focus, social responsibility and business ethical corporate governance are becoming more and more important frameworks (“ESG”). We are in markets that are framed by the UN’s 17 sustainability goals, and our technological solutions contribute toa sustainable footprint.

In sum, our focus areas can be briefly framed as followed:

Environmental:

Water, wether it is fresh or salty, is a common denominator for everything the ENTEC Group work with. We are helping Norwegian municipalities delivering clean water to everyone living there, and we supply smart solutions to the treatment plants. And when fish farmers build land based facilities, they often come to us for tanks for the fish to grow and thrive in. At maritim businesses and vessels all over the world you might see brands and brand names from the ENTEC family; on winches and handling systems, on screens, control panel and on pipe systems.

Our biggest markets are value chains that contribute to increased food production in the world, and we help to reduce the (environmental impact and) footprint in the markets we are in through our efficient solutions.

• We have chosen to be in markets that contribute to sustainability.
• Our products are technologically advanced and energy efficient.
• Product with high quality and long lifespan.

Social:

• We contribute to the local communities we are a part of.
• We work systematicallt to ensure our employees have a nice and safe workingenvironment.
• Internal work processes are systematized in a quality management system to increase quality, traceability and efficiency, for us and our suppliers.

Governance:

• Our ethical guidelines set strict/strong requirements for all employees in our company when it comes to ethics, corruption and money laundering.
• We work systematically for diversity, equality and inclusion.
• We have owners who wants to develop and grow the business in a positive direction guided by focusing on ESG.

Evotec

Evotec`s solutions are designed for the challenging environment to which these vessels are exposed as frequent disinfection, and we deliver electric operation controlled through EWDS (Evotec Winch Drive Solution), or hydraulically operated systems.

We deliver complete packages to:

• Service boat: rope transfer equipment, winches, cranes, automation- and control system.

SUSTAINABILITY BASED ON DATA

We use data-driven insights to improve existing solutions in the public and private sector. Implementing sustainable technology solutions can be based on this insight. It is rewarding to contribute with data-driven insight that positively impacts society.

For example we have helped property companies that need a better overview of their buildings. Based on this, we find ways to streamline and optimise how spaces are used. Several buildings are empty after working hours, and can be used for other activities so that there are fewer buildings that need heating, and you don’t have to build more than necessary. 

Another example, is how our solutions contributed to saving businesses and workplaces in a difficult time. When consumption patterns changed as a result of the pandemic, we used insights from data collection to see how stores could adapt their offering. That way they could continue to be profitable.

Fish health and fish welfare – a key to improved aquaculture

Pressemelding
24.03.2023                                                       

Bente Lund Jacobsen ansatt som Daglig leder i Global Aquaculture Tech Hub (GATH)

GATH har siden oppstarten i 2021 doblet seg i antall medlemmer og vi har erfart viktigheten i å stå sammen for å løse de store felles utfordringene næringen møter. Vi var på leting etter en daglig leder som hadde erfaring fra havbruksnæringen, som forstår kraften i å samarbeide, som evner å løfte fram GATH bedriftenes samfunnsbidrag og samtidig har erfaring i fra å bygge og drifte en forening. Ikke minst var det også viktig å finne en klar og tydelig leder som har forståelse for det politiske apparat for vår næring, altså en kokekyndig maskinist med skipper erfaring. Bente har betydelig erfaring på alle områdene og jeg er veldig glad for at hun skal lede GATH videre sier styreleder, Per Helge Devold.

Bente Lund Jacobsen har siden 2020 vært eldreombud i Norge. Hun har 10 års erfaring fra Havbruksnæringen gjennom å lede de 12 nasjonale og internasjonale selskapene i Mørenot konsernets Aquaculture satsning. I 2018 ble hun adm dir i Næringsforeningen Ålesundregionen hvor hun la grunnlaget for en rekke viktige prosjekt for regionen. 

Bente Lund Jacobsen gleder seg til å komme i gang i sin nye jobb og ser frem til å arbeide med medlemsbedriftene i næringer hun har stor respekt for.

Bente sier, jeg gleder meg til å komme i gang, arbeide sammen med medlemmene og bidra til å videreutvikle GATH. Jeg ser på GATH som en fremoverlent og rett satsning på samarbeid og utvikling av næringer innenfor havbruksbransjene. Nå får jeg muligheten til å være med på denne satsingen og samtidig arbeide sammen med mange bedrifter jeg kjenner fra tidligere og ikke minst bli kjent med nye. Jeg gleder meg til å ta fatt på oppgavene.

Bente Lund Jacobsen tiltrer som daglig leder i GATH 1 august 2023.

Om GATH:

Sentrale aktører i havbruksnæringen gikk sammen og etablerte Global Acuaculture Tech Hub (GATH) for å løse felles utfordringer innen fiskevelferd og bærekraft. Flere av aktørene er verdensledende innen sitt fagfelt og målet med huben er å styrke samarbeidet og øke innovasjonstakten slik at vi vi fortsetter å være globalt ledende innen akvakulturteknologi. Økt eksport og verdiskaping er en klar målsetting. Siden oppstart i 2021 har GATH leid administrative tjenester fra Ålesund Næringsforening, på bakgrunn av økt aktivitetsnivå ser en nå behovet for en fulltids administrativ leder.

Møreforsking offers research and development in a wide range of disciplines.

Møreforsking is a non-profit research institute with offices in Ålesund, Molde and Kristiansund. The institute conducts applied research on topics related to marine- and social sciences, transport economics and logistics. We contribute to sustainable resource management, innovation and value creation through research and knowledge production in collaboration with industry, public sector, as well as national and international research institutions. Møreforsking possesses various laboratory facilities, including laboratory for chemical and molecular analysis, a facility for live marine organisms and a process laboratory for conservation, storage and primary processing. We also conduct sensory evaluation by our inhouse trained panel.

Møreforsking is located in the middle of the marine cluster in North-West Norway. The proximity to rich marine resources, combined with strong traditions in catching, processing and exporting seafood, make Norway in general and North-West Norway in particular a leading player in marine industries.

Møreforsking’s role is to contribute knowledge through research and development that increases value creation in the industry. We carry out research and development projects for the fisheries and aquaculture industries, the seafood processing industry, exporters, and industry organizations.

Seafood processing

In order to compete in the global seafood market, the Norwegian marine industry must offer products of the highest possible quality. Møreforsking has several researchers in the field of seafood processing who work continuously to increase our knowledge of how production processes affect the nutritional, chemical and sensory quality of seafood. Due to Møre and Romsdal’s proximity to the sea, with white fish such as cod and haddock, and pelagic species such as herring and mackerel, much of our research takes place in close collaboration with regional industry that utilizes these marine resources. Møreforsking has also for several decades worked with live seafood, especially with how quality and animal welfare can be maintained during live storage and transport of shellfish.

Our ambition is to develop the world’s most reliable onshore aquaculture facilities.
