One of Oregon Seaweed’s owners has posted an offensive message on social media that negatively portrayed Portland. While one person’s perspective should not reflect on the many others in the company, in this moment we understand how important an owner’s words and actions can be... leadership’s words and actions can reflect poorly on the company and its people.
For this reason I find it essential to state that I am also an owner of the company and I can confidently say that we do not agree with the sentiment or judgment of the post.
Oregon Seaweed is proud to call Portland home. Ours is a grand community of people, unique, and stronger together. We must identify and address our problems thoughtfully and humanely. Oregon Seaweed will continue to run its business as it always has, motivated first and foremost to bring a tasty and healthy, low carbon food to market, while ensuring that we offer our team the best possible employment and bring new economic development opportunities to Oregon communities.
