Company Culture and Sanctuary Oysters

At Sanctuary Oysters and Sol Azul, we are as passionate about fostering healthy company culture as we are about creating a sustainable and high-quality product. Our oysters are celebrated for their superb quality, impeccable clean taste, and freshness, surpassing the most demanding international norms so it’s no surprise that our culture would be held to the same standards. We call the standards that guide us the Sol Azul Business Compass.

Envisioned future

-       Through our innovative and sustainable breeding, hatchery, farming and marketing techniques we are creating high-quality, great tasting and healthy shellfish while maintaining our pristine environment and utilizing renewable sources of energy

-       We build enriching relationships with our team members, customers, and communities that are based on trust, collaboration, and the creation of value

-       We are committed to leaving every interaction, relationship, and situation better than we found it

With this compass as our guide, we are seeing success in managing our teams, attracting qualified employees and maintaining a flourishing work environment. We have an almost equal distribution of jobs between men and women and we provide child-care to our working families. Throughout this year we have continued to strengthen gender equity within the company, particularly in decision-making positions and will pursue further actions to do so. Just as we give care and attention to the environment where we grow our oysters, we believe we must also give an equal level of care an attention to our team members.
