Heiploeg is actively involved in developments to promote sustainability in shrimp fishery, shrimp farming and shrimp processing. Some examples of that involvement and initiatives are:

• Sustainable North Sea shrimp fishery
• Initiator of standard for responsible shrimp farming
• Contributing to the ASC standard for shrimp farming
• Initiator and driving force behind MSC certification of tropical shrimp fisheries (Atlantic Seabob)
