High Liner Foods Achieves 99% of 2013 Sustainability Goal
High Liner Foods Inc., Canada, achieved 99% of its goal to source all seafood from “certified-sustainable or responsible” fisheries and aquaculture. The company made a pledge in November 2010 to reach this goal by the end of 2013.
“Three years ago, we set an ambitious goal that fundamentally changed the way we do business, and I’m very proud that we’ve achieved 99% of that goal,” says Henry Demone, chief executive officer. “I applaud the efforts of our entire team, and particularly our corporate director of sustainability, Bill DiMento, and our sustainability council, procurement team and systems development team for giving us a tool to track raw material purchases.”
