In 2020, Marel donated €1,000,000 to the Red Cross who will use the funds to improve the food security of the most vulnerable communities in South Sudan. The partnership with the Red Cross is in line with our focused approach to charitable activities and contribution to the UN sustainable development goals to end hunger and strengthen global partnership for sustainable development.
Marel's vision is of a world where quality food is sustainable and affordable.
