Our values

We love working with people - and fish!

COFAD is deeply committed to fostering sustainable development in the areas of fisheries, aquaculture and the blue economy in Europe and – mostly in the context of development cooperation – in transition countries and the global south.

Our resident team, bolstered by our expansive global network of consultants, forms the basis of our solid advisory support and cooperation. This, coupled with an open-minded and stimulating work environment, makes COFAD an attractive place to work and a valued cooperation partner.

We are dedicated to delivering professional services of the highest quality, in line with up-to-date science and professional standards. Our professional expertise and independence are our assets, while our diligence and transparency are our unique value proposition.

We focus on maximum benefits for our clients and for the communities we serve. We ensure that project resources are deployed in the most efficient and effective ways.

Our approach to project delivery is characterised by our unwavering commitment to ethical principles, environmental protection and social standards.
