Summary
Davigel has been partnered with the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) since 2013, when it became the international NGO’s first foodservice partner and first partner based in France. Following up on this, Davigel is also the first French company to participate in the Ocean Disclosure Project. The 2017 profile represents Davigel’s first year of participation and signifies the company’s commitment to transparency in seafood supply chains.
"Sustainability is one of Davigel's 4 quality commitments. To broaden our scope and involve ourselves in the preservation of fisheries resources and conservation of marine environments, we have developed partnerships with two non-governmental organizations: SFP and WWF. Together with them, we put forward the best responsible fishing and farming programs based on international eco-certifications. By 2016, 76% of the volumes purchased were eco-certified, and 82% were classified as responsible or sustainable according to the Davigel Responsible Seafood Policy. In addition, we prohibit the commercialization of any identified endangered species on the IUCN list or classified IUU (Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated). Finally, for the rest, Davigel is involved in the improvement of sectors by participating in three Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs). All this has enabled us to improve our overall sustainability Metrics indicator for our seafood from a score of 1.78 in 2013 to 1.46 in 2016, based on internal analysis and with a goal of 1."
"Le développement durable fait partie des 4 engagements qualité de Davigel. Pour élargir notre champ d’action et mieux nous impliquer dans la préservation des ressources halieutiques et la conservation des milieux marins, nous avons développé des partenariats avec deux organisations non-gouvernementales : SFP et le WWF. Avec eux nous mettons en avant les meilleures filières de pêche et d’élevage responsables en nous appuyant sur des écocertifications internationales. En 2016, 76% des volumes achetés étaient écocertifiés, et 82% étaient classés comme responsables ou durables. Par ailleurs, nous nous interdisons la commercialisation de toute espèce identifiée en danger sur la liste de l’UICN ou classée IUU (Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated). Enfin, pour le reste, Davigel s’implique dans l’amélioration de filières en participant notamment à 3 FIP = Projets d'Amélioration de Pêcheries. Tout ceci nous a permis d'améliorer le score de notre indicateur Metrics de durabilité globale en ce qui concerne nos produits de la mer en passant d'une note de 1,78 en 2013 à 1,46 en 2016, sachant que la note peut aller de 4 au pire à 1 à l'optimum."
