The “Walter Montiel” Independent Fishermen Workers Union, from Puerto Chacabuco, received from the Navy, through the Port Captaincy and together with the support of Australis, the maritime concession corresponding to the Ensenada Baja sector.
To achieve this important milestone for the union, the Australis Corporate Social Responsibility and Concessions areas worked collaboratively for about a year with the fishermen to obtain this concession, which will allow them to enhance their development in artisanal fishing as well as, inquire into the area of rural tourism.
In our in Puerto Varas offices, the signing of the Agreement between the Ministry of Justice, the Chilean Gendarmerie and Australis was carried out, within the framework of the R project, which aims to promote the reintegration into the labor world of people deprived of liberty . This agreement is unprecedented at the industry level, since it is the first time that a salmon farming company seals this type of agreement. In this context, Australis committed to promoting job opportunities that allow and favor the reinsertion of people guarded by the Chilean Gendarmerie.
In order to contribute to the care of the environment in Calbuco, we delivered to the municipality of said commune plastic bottle recycling containers, which were placed in the municipal park and sectors of the city.
In this instance, we were accompanied by the mayor of the town, Mr. Juan Francisco Calbucoy, and councilor Adán Diaz, who thanked Australis for the constant support to the community.
