SUSTAINABILITY
Our industry’s future relies on sustainable practices… if we don’t manage wild fish stocks responsibly the natural resource will cease to exist. At American Fish & Seafood Inc., we’ve worked hard to achieve the ever-evolving balance between meeting today’s demand for quality fish and seafood products and ensuring that same opportunity exists for years to come. We believe in providing visibility and information to our customers about seafood sustainability to help them make informed decisions about the products they choose to buy. For decades, we’ve helped customers manage purchases to their own, as well as recognized third-party’s, sustainability parameters; additionally, we’ve taken an active role to be ‘part of the solution’ by:
- Participating in industry working groups to highlight sustainable seafood options
- Donating to NGO’s with missions to improve seafood sustainability
- Committing a portion of purchases to unique and sustainable aquaculture methods
- Slotting select items strictly from third-party verified sustainable wild fisheries
