From Gold to Platinum: Our Journey in Environmental Stewardship

Together with our partner MacLab Tasman, we are thrilled to announce significant milestones in our commitment to environmental sustainability.
As part of the A+ New Zealand Sustainable Aquaculture Program, we received an exceptionally high pass mark of 97% from our most recent audit from membership with the program.

Separately, for our MFA Environmental Accreditation Program membership, we achieved the prestigious “Platinum” status rating. This accomplishment marks a significant advancement from our previous “Gold” status, which we obtained in 2021.

Both of these achievements demonstrate our ongoing dedication to environmental excellence. The stringent criteria for this recognition make it a truly exceptional achievement. This milestone is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our remarkable team.

We would like to express our thanks to our employees, partners, and stakeholders who have contributed to this journey. Our commitment to sustainability remains resolute, and we look forward to continuously setting new standards for environmental stewardship as we strive for a greener future.
