CHOOSE SUSTAINABILITY FOR BUSINESS LONGEVITY

The way we produce, consume, and ultimately waste food has been identified as the single biggest threat to nature. If you’re part of the food and hospitality industry, you have the power to turn things around - for your business, and for the planet.

Making commitments and taking action to improve the sourcing of seafood and to reduce food waste are important steps to drive positive environmental, economic, and societal change. It’s also good for business.

As a business owner or industry professional, you have the biggest advantage to drive seafood sustainability throughout the supply chain by sourcing and selling seafood responsibly through your engagement with seafood producers, suppliers, and consumers.

TOP 5 BUSINESS BENEFITS FOR SAYING YES
TO SUSTAINABLE SEAFOOD

By engaging in sustainability efforts, companies can manage risks associated with:
  • Reputational issues;
  • Fluctuations in commodity supply, pricing and financial instability;
  • Illegal practices in the supply chain;
  • Human rights abuses or social conflicts; and
  • Climate change.
Transforming how seafood is sourced and processed delivers commercial gains to businesses. Sustainable seafood means sustainable business.

Buying more sustainable seafood encourages seafood producers to catch and farm seafood sustainably. When more businesses demand for sustainable seafood as their supply, this creates incentive especially for local producers – fishermen and fish farmers – to improve their production methods in order to meet that demand.

It means consistent seafood supply in the long-term.

Committing to buy more sustainable seafood is one of the ways of championing sustainability efforts in business, which in turn can help create a positive image for the company. Retailing more sustainable seafood not only highlights a company’s commitment to ocean conservation, it also demonstrates its concern for sustaining local economies and communities.
Sustainable seafood can often be an indicator of safe and better quality seafood as both sustainability and quality require full traceability and best management practices. This in turn indicates a supply chain that is effectively managed.

Driven by value-based consumer engagement, whereby the availability of a unique product combined with business commitments to environmental and social sustainability – builds customer loyalty in the long run.
