Robust measures to preserve stocks
Sustainability is a core value at Cyprus Fisheries, we have a firm policy to buy seafood from well-managed, sustainable sources in order to protect our oceans for the future. Wherever possible we buy fish that are line-caught by small dayboats to minimise the impact on the marine environment.
We also support the Responsible Fishing Scheme (RFS), an independent certification scheme designed to promote and recognise good practice in the fishing industry, and to ensure effective conservation and management of the living aquatic resources. Wherever possible, we give priority to vessels committed to the scheme.
We operate in compliance with all relevant environmental legislation and we will strive to use relevant and environmental best practices in all we do. Where we can we encourage our employees, suppliers and business associates to do the same. This is not just sound commercial sense; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations.
We apply 3 simple rules when sourcing our seafood to ensure we are purchasing the most sustainable products and minimising our impact on the marine environment.
Give preference to suppliers that are accredited
Ensure we know the origin of the seafood
Shorten the supply chain wherever possible
