Sustainability & Traceability
The MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) and ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) Chain of Custody Certifications are the most stringent parameters in the world, to ensure that the seafood produced, processed and sold is at it’s most responsible and can be traced throughout it’s entire supply chain. Achieving and adhering to the certifications is of paramount importance to us. We have held both certifications across several of our sites for many years. When opening a new facilities, we aim to gain these accreditations within the first year. We undertake regular internal audits to ensue that every point of the certifications requirements are met. As well as an external audit once a year.
Find out more about what the MSC and ASC certifications mean.
We also hold ISO 22000-2005 certification for several of our warehouses and logistics operations. This is our further commitment to upholding our standards across our supply chain. This accreditation goes hand in hand with our MSC & ASC accreditation; giving us the tools to trace our products from catch to final delivery.
Other certification achieved include BRC accreditation, FDA approval and FORS fleet operator recognition scheme.
