Introducing Tassie's Tassal

from Current - Winter 2018

Giant Kelp Reforestation

THANKS TASSIE for taking the time to provide feedback.

Over the past six months, over 1000 Tasmanians have given their time to tell us what they think.

They have taken tours of our farms, joined us at community engagement sessions and completed an extensive telephone feedback survey.

We truly appreciate your time, your honesty, your opinions and your thoughts on our business and the communities we share.

What we have learned has become instrumental in creating a long-term plan for positive change.

We heard more information about our industry was required.

People wanted to know about our carbon footprint, our water quality monitoring, our farming footprint, the health benefits of salmon and how we compare on the global stage.

This has resulted in our new information campaign called “Tassie’s Tassal”.

During Winter and Spring, we are very pleased to introduce you to some of our wonderful team who will share information about the topics important to you.

Extra information on each of these ambassadors, plus more about their topics, can be found over the following pages, as well as on our webpage: tassalgroup.com.au/tassies-tassal

Check out some fun behind the scenes photos to the right.

• Our People;

• Our Product;

• Our Performance; and

• Our Community.

Greater community support.

We are proud to launch our new “Better Together Community Grants”. Details are on page 17.

The Better Together Community Grants program not only offers financial assistance but also in-kind assistance.

Individuals, as well as not-for-profits and other organisations can apply for a grant or assistance.

Grants will be assessed and decided on by a group which is a combination of Tassal staff and local community members.

Community Foundation approach

Community Foundation

CREATING A BETTER

TO M O R R O W

In 2017 we launched our Community Foundation - a commitment to the way we farm and engage in the communities where we operate. Our Foundation approach balances across core community pillars (education & training, environment, health & wellbeing and social inclusion). Our Foundation Charter is delivered through the establishment of dedicated Community Advisory Groups. We have also committed to two Community Information sessions in every region annually, plus an Open Day!
