Sobeys is an active participant in the Food Marketing Institute’s Sustainable Seafood Working Group. We have engaged with numerous stakeholders on this important issue from regulators to environmental and supplier trade groups to sustainable seafood standards bodies. Our private label group is providing leadership by sourcing some farmed seafood that has been Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certified and wild seafood that has been Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified. The balance of private label seafood products are under review for sustainable sourcing. Our regions are engaging with their supply chains to seek improvements to the sustainability of the seafood they source.
Thrifty Foods has been a long-term supporter of local growers and sustainable agriculture. Now, as an Ocean Wise partner, we are committed to offering consumers a growing selection of sustainable seafood options.
The Ocean Wise logo confirms that fish and seafood products are caught or farmed in such a way that ensures the long-term health and stability of that species, as well as the greater marine environment. Created by the Vancouver Aquarium, the Ocean Wise program helps consumers make sound, sustainable seafood purchases.
