“We understand that sustainability and traceability of our products are as important to our customers as their quality. Aquaculture, managed correctly, has the potential to become one of the main sources of natural protein for our growing population.

“We act with care, sourcing our seafood from farms and fisheries which are well-managed to ensure the long-term sustainable future of the fishery, its environment and, crucially, its community. It is really important to us that our customers don’t pay a premium for buying products that ‘give something back’. We believe that by working within the SSC guidelines, it will help us to be able to achieve our goals.”
