Hilton Food Group Plc

Hilton Food Group PLC (Hilton Food) has a Net Maturity Score of 25/100, placing it in the third quartile of the index. The company is engaged in post-harvest activities. Hilton Food has the fifth-highest score on Animal Welfare (45/100), where its policy and annual statements provide substantive information on its strategic approach for fish and shrimp, as well as quantitative reporting on outcomes. The company has the sixth-highest score on Protein Diversification (28/100). Hilton Food identifies this topic as a business opportunity within its Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures reporting and has a strategy to diversify its protein portfolio to align with consumer demand for plant-based products. This includes setting a general target to double its sale of plant-based, vegetarian and flexitarian products compared to a 2020 baseline. The company’s human rights policy and associated implementation measures (due diligence audits and grievance mechanisms) support moderate scores across social topics: Modern Slavery and Child Labour (41/100), Workforce Wellbeing (38/100) and Worker Representation (46/100). One area for improvement is Antibiotic Stewardship (14/100): despite having a global policy, Hilton Food provides limited reporting on how this is implemented. The company has not disclosed its strategy for addressing Marine Raw Materials Sustainability (5/100) and Seafood Traceability (11/100), although it does appear to be taking some action on both topics. The company did not interact with FAIRR during the 2025/26 benchmarking cycle.

Communicating about the Coller FAIRR Seafood Index

The Net Maturity Score an organisation receives in the Coller FAIRR Seafood Index illustrates the understanding and preparedness of the company to manage sector risks and opportunities. Companies with higher scores can still be affected by financially material events. The scores illustrate whether the company can reduce the likelihood of such events and respond effectively should they happen. The Net Maturity Score does not indicate that the company or its protein sources are sustainable.
