Seacore is a founding member of Sea Pact | United for a Sustainable Future
Sea Pact is an alliance formed between nine of the leading, like-minded Seafood Distributors in North America. This unprecedented alliance is a first of its kind in the seafood industry. Sea Pact has a goal of making their seafood industry a more sustainable & eco-friendly one.
Sea Pact will improve the sustainability of global seafood by using the collective power of like-minded North American seafood companies to improve the fishing and fish farming systems we procure from. Sea Pact was created by the six founding members: Albion Fisheries in Vancouver, Fortune Fish & Gourmet in Chicago, Ipswich Shellfish Group in Boston, Santa Monica Seafood in Los Angeles, Seacore Seafood in Toronto and Seattle Fish Co in Denver. Additional members that have joined since inception are Stavis Seafood in Boston, A.C. Coverts in Halifax and J.J. McDonnell in Baltimore.
Sea Pact agrees to collectively:
1. Support a model of continuous improvement for fisheries and aquaculture farms.
2. Engage our peers and our supply chain in discussion and action around continuous improvement.
3. Publically state our goals for reaching more responsible seafood supply and monitor and measure our progress towards our goal.
4. Support each other’s efforts to educate our individual staff, customers and supply chain about our responsible seafood initiatives.
5. Utilize our collective purchasing power in a pre-competitive nature to engage in improvement efforts.
6. Financially contribute to continuous improvement of those fisheries and fish farming systems we procure from that meet our Project Selection Criteria.
7. Consider the impact on communities when making sourcing decisions.
8. Engage in and support policy and management reform that leads to positive environmental outcomes in fisheries and aquaculture management.
Seacore has a seat on Sea Pact's Board of Directors.
