Notes to Editors:

Founded in 2000, Benchmark represents a new model in sustainable business development. Over the last decade it has built a profitable group of companies on the economics of a sustainable food chain. The company is growing in response to a rapidly increasing demand for sustainable food chains, and in particular for seafood, from both mature and emerging markets. As demand can no longer be met by declining wild resources, it will necessitate the growth of sustainable farming systems around the world.

Benchmark is an ethical company with an explicit policy based on the "3E's" definition of a sustainable business - ethics, environment and economics - which guides its strategy and operations.

The Group has three divisions: Animal Health which researches, manufactures and markets medicines and vaccines - particularly for aquaculture; Sustainable Science which researches and informs sustainable development in the food industry; and Technical Publishing which enables technology transfer through online publishing and education. Benchmark operates internationally with offices in the UK, Ireland, Norway, USA, Brazil, China and Thailand and, as at 31 January 2014, employs 188 people.
