Congratulations to Sysco for taking steps to make our seafood offerings sustainable and responsible – as well as nutritious and tasty!!
Sept. 19, 2011
Sysco Corporation announced earlier today that it has pledged to assess its current seafood supply and to develop ways to improve the sustainability of its seafood-buying practices and standards by 2015, as part of a multiple-stage World Wildlife Fund (WWF) commitment.
Specifically, the company will obtain its top ten Sysco brand wild-caught seafood species – which represent about 52 percent of the Sysco-branded seafood product line – from fisheries that are either certified, under assessment by the Marine Stewardship Council or involved in fishery improvement projects with WWF. These wild-caught seafood products include tuna, clams, cod, pollock, shrimp, scallops, salmon, calamari, lobster and crab.
