Aker BioMarine (Oslo, Norway) has announced that the company has joined Women in Nutraceuticals (WIN) as a founding sponsor. As a nonprofit group, WIN is dedicated to building support for women in the nutraceutical industry in an effort to increase the percentage of women that hold leadership positions in the C-suite and across the dietary supplement supply chain.

“At Aker BioMarine, we innovate by nature and are on a mission to improve human and planetary health,” said Simon Seward, executive vice president of human health and nutrition at Aker BioMarine, in a press release. “And to live by this mission every day, we rely on the heartbeat of our company—our people. One of the major factors in the evolution of our business is our diverse group of colleagues within Aker BioMarine. We are the fishermen and women as well as the creators, builders, scientists and business professionals and we foster inclusivity and empower our female colleagues on every level possible. In fact, almost 50% of our executive management team is comprised of women and we have women in leading roles throughout the company.”

“Women In Nutraceuticals is designed to accelerate change in the global nutraceutical industry, focusing on gender equity and empowering women personally and professionally,” added Heather Granato, WIN’s president. “And to accomplish these goals, we aim to bring together individuals and organizations that share our values and vision. It’s a pleasure to welcome Aker BioMarine on board as a founding sponsor, underscoring their commitment to and recognition of this mission and all we do in a spirit of collaboration.”
