Stewardship

At Visscher Seafood, the North Atlantic Ocean is in our DNA. Our ancestors have been living from it for millennia, thanks to our world-renowned marine stewardship. We love our all-natural, delicious and sustainable seafood and want to share it with the world. Now and in the future. To make this possible, it is important to think long-term in the choices we make as a company.

Conservation of Marine Resources

Preserving the health and abundance of our oceans is at the core of our stewardship efforts. We actively participate in sustainable fishing practices with our owns farms and initiatives, adhering to strict regulations and implementing measures to protect marine habitats. By embracing responsible farming and fishing techniques, we contribute to the long-term viability of marine ecosystems.

Responsible Sourcing and Traceability

We prioritize responsible sourcing through our own farms and by partnering with suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. Through rigorous traceability systems, we ensure that our seafood products are sourced ethically and legally, without compromising the environment or exploiting vulnerable species. By maintaining transparency throughout the supply chain, we provide customers with the assurance of sustainable seafood.

Embracing Responsible Practices

Our commitment to stewardship aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), driving our efforts to create a sustainable future. By embracing responsible practices, we contribute to several SDGs, including those related to life below water (SDG 14), responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), climate action (SDG 13), and partnerships for the goals (SDG 17).

We are proud to embrace stewardship practices that prioritize the health and sustainability of our oceans. By promoting responsible sourcing, conserving marine resources, ensuring product quality and safety, reducing our environmental impact, and engaging with communities, we aim to be stewards of a thriving and sustainable seafood industry. Together, we can contribute to the preservation of our oceans and the well-being of future generations.

 

Our commitment to stewardship extends beyond environmental considerations. We actively engage with local communities, supporting initiatives that promote sustainable livelihoods and social well-being. By collaborating with stakeholders, we aim to create a positive impact on the communities in which we operate.
