RESPONSIBLE PROCUREMENT

COMMUNICATION

• Species (common names)
• Species (scientific names)
• Location/country of origin
• Fishing production method (wild-caught and type of fishing gear used OR farmed/aquaculture)

SEAFOOD TRACKING SYSTEM

Develop and implement a tracking system for fresh seafood products, which consist of:

• accurate and updated data records of seafood information (common and scientific name, origin, production method)
• due diligence by verifying the authenticity of information of seafood products (e.g. audit or suppliers’ conduct to trace origin or fishing methods)
• a segregation method to differentiate between sustainable and non-sustainable seafood products
