Publix confirms its commitment to fishing sustainability
(UNITED STATES, 4/5/2017)
Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) has welcomed Publix’s move to publish a list of all of the fisheries used within the company’s seafood department to source wild seafood, along with information on management, catch method, and environmental impact.
The NGO stressed that the data disclosure exercise – part of the SFP Ocean Disclosure Project (ODP) – is the first time a US company has made such a comprehensive report and represents a dramatic increase in corporate transparency.
“Publix’s seafood sustainability philosophy is to provide transparency for our customers while engaging with our suppliers to drive change in the seafood industry,” said Maria Brous, Director of Media and Community Relations.
The director also highlighted that sustainability is about continuous improvement and that SFP and Publix have shared values and vision for a more sustainable seafood future.
In addition, she explained that through their collaboration on the ODP, it has been able to evaluate the current sustainability landscape, prioritize the impact, and support the supply chain from the fishermen to the processors through fishery improvement projects.
“This is a truly impressive commitment and represents a significant step forward in corporate reporting on sustainable seafood,” pointed out Kathryn Novak, Director of Buyer Engagement for SFP.
Publix is the first retailer in the US to participate in the ODP, joining European participants Asda, Biomar, The Co-operative Group, Joseph Robertson, Morrisons, and Skretting.
SFP launched ODP in July 2015 in order to convert it into a platform for the responsible firms to show very high levels of transparency and commitment to sustainability.
The information presented in this program will be of great value to consumers, seafood companies and investors while building confidence in the responsible operations of the seafood industry as a whole.
