Conservation and Sustainability

Wild Caught Products is a competitive, respected company in our industry and we aspire to continue to being so. To maintain this recognition, we understand the importance of integrating the social and environmental dimension of our practices in our daily activity, in a way that integrity and responsibility are known as key values of our company management.

Fully convinced and committed to this, we are in the process of implementing a clear Corporate Social Responsibility strategy throughout WCP. A large part of this initiative is being more aware of the impact that our business activity within the communities we source our fish from and sustainability of the raw material we offer. WCP stands by our principles that differentiate our company from our competitors within this industry: commitment, quality, innovation and people.

WCP expects all its suppliers, with whom we would like to maintain fair, stable and long term relationships, to share the same principles of conduct and that they be applied to their company, subsidiaries and affiliates, as well as to the rest of the individuals with whom they maintain business relationships. The express commitment of our suppliers with Wild Caught Products Code Of Conduct For Responsible Fish Purchasing is considered essential in our relationship with our suppliers. We are confident that drawing up common projects and long term partnerships will allow for the joint development of our companies in search of business excellence.

We recognise how ambitious the application of these code principles may be. The option by which we believe our company can create more value in fish supply is defending the continuous improvement of our suppliers based on principles identified as being basic. We are developing management systems to make labour standard’s performance a routine part of our fish purchasing process and to ensure that our suppliers comply with these principles. At the same time WCP is committed to maintaining close communication with its suppliers with the objective of strengthening our mutual understanding so that social responsibility criteria can be implemented in our daily activities. We commit to support our suppliers in the implementation of the measures required for full compliance of our Code.

We trust that the Wild Caught Products Code Of Conduct For Responsible Fish Purchasing reinforces the image of WCP as worthy of our suppliers and client’s trust. We are convinced that working together on the corporate responsibility policies expressed in this Code will substantially improve the overall sustainability of the fishing sector and strengthen the competitiveness and profitability for both our company and that of our partners.

Wherever possible, WCP will seek to purchase direct from the source thereby eliminating unnecessary costs ensuring a higher value received by our suppliers who in essence are the vessel owners. Thus in turn will have a value added effect to our suppliers as they will be able to experience higher returns for their commercial catches.
