Trusted Sourcing Resources

Eco certifications. These are globally recognized stamps of approval issued by independent organizations that have been accredited, licensed, or are supervised by the appropriate government authorities. The certifications are voluntary, involve ongoing inspection, and are supported by strong, well-managed commitments to sustainable practices. We look for eco certifications because they provide us with an assurance that the seafood we’re buying meets most, if not all, of our sustainable sourcing criteria. The big seven that we’ve come to trust are the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP), Ocean Wise, FishWise, Friend of the Sea, and Fairtrade.
