After setbacks in its Honuran operations in 2024, Regal Springs has signed a strategic sustainability alliance with the Honduran government through the nation’s electricity company (Empresa Nacional de Energia Electrica or ENEE) to support its operations in Lake El Cajón.
The alliance marks a strengthening of the company’s relations with the Honduran government and a commitment to working together to sustainably develop the area.
“We very much believe in Honduras and its potential,” said Sandro Rezzio, country director of Regal Springs Honduras. “We appreciate the Government of Honduras and the ENEE support in recognizing the valuable contribution of Regal Springs positive social and environmental impact for the country.”
The Honduran government closed industrial activity in Lake Yojoa, where Regal Springs had another farm, in 2024; this alliance represents a commitment, on the part of the government, to the company’s continued work in its other Honduran site, Lake El Cajón.
Regal Springs has been operating in Honduras for more than three decades, and directly employs over 1,000 people in the area. In a release about the news, the company attributed the alliance to its community building and sustainability efforts in the country, which support the livelihoods, health, and education of many rural Hondurans. The company has long been focused on sustainability, and has recently been recognized as a leader in humane tilapia harvesting.
“For over three decades, we have managed to transform lives and contribute to the development of the communities of San Francisco de Yojoa and the municipalities surrounding the El Cajón Hydroelectric Dam,” Rezzio said.
According to the company, “under this renewed collaboration with the ENEE, Regal Springs Honduras will implement many new initiatives and technologies; initiatives that might not only safeguard natural resources but ideas that drive superior product quality for the benefit of our customers and end users.”
Regal Springs is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland, but produces Tilapia in Honduras, Mexico, and Indonesia.
