Our Commitment to Sustainability

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Sustain At High LinerAs one of North America’s leading seafood companies, High Liner feels a profound responsibility to our oceans and our planet. We are working with organizations committed to sustainability to ensure that 100% of the seafood we purchase will come from sustainable sources. Our commitment to sustainability begins on the water and continues all the way to your local store, from ocean to plate.

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. for “Our Planet. Our Promise” means that sustainability is embraced from the top down of the organization with commitment and involvement in every area of our business.

Responsibility for our actions

We are committed to ensuring that our planet and its oceans remain healthy so we can continue to provide you with safe, high quality seafood far into the future. We understand that sustainable development doesn’t happen by accident. It is a conscious and intentional decision to lead our industry toward responsible actions that will result in a brighter future for generations to come.

Engagement in supporting fishery and aquaculture improvement

We have openly promoted and been engaged in marine resource improvements since the early 90’s. We remain committed to, and support sound scientific research that will bring sustainable improvements to our marine resources, the environment, the workplace and our local and global communities. Click here to learn more about our work.

Social Responsibility in providing a safe work environment and wholesome products

The health of our 1,100 workers is of the utmost importance and we provide various programs to support their health and wellness. Our products promote healthy lifestyle choices with consumers.

Promise of integrity, quality, innovation and involvement

High Liner’s belief in these core values means we do not do business with companies engaged in practices that are detrimental to the environment and our natural resources. It means that we do not purchase seafood from Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) fisheries.

Environmental Stewardship by adhering to high standards

We hold our suppliers to high social, economic and environmental standards. Our expectation is that they strive to catch or farm seafood responsibly, protect against extinction and limit the impact of fishing and aquaculture practices on the natural environment. Further, we have joined forces with a number of like-minded partners on our journey toward sustainability. Click here to learn more about our partnerships.

We strive to continually make improvements in our manufacturing facilities and across our supply chain to achieve this goal. We also choose to partner with suppliers who share this same high level of interest and commitment to sustainability.
