Summary
At ALDI, we are passionate about sustainable fish and seafood and providing our customers with product transparency. We have shown leadership in seafood transparency as the first Australian retailer to publicly disclose our sourcing information through the Ocean Disclosure Project (ODP). Since 2021, all ALDI branded products in our fish and seafood range must be responsibly sourced. This means that Australians can support responsible fishing and farming practices by shopping at ALDI.
ALDI’s approach to responsible fish and seafood sourcing is based on continuous improvement. We collaborate with our suppliers to ensure greater traceability across our range and frequently review and improve the sustainability of our seafood products. ALDI’s partnership with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) helps us evaluate the sustainability of our range, develop innovative programs and strategies and strengthen our engagement with suppliers so we can improve production and manufacturing practices throughout our supply chain.
Our profile covers all ALDI branded wild caught fish and seafood in 2022.
