Summary

This profile encompasses over 95% of our 2024 supply of fresh, canned, and superfrozen tuna. Tuna procurement, the cornerstone of our operations, faces specific challenges, particularly illegal fishing. Ensuring the integrity of our supply chains, which primarily consist of two tiers—fleet and processing plant—is vital for maintaining transparency that our customers demand. We are dedicated to tracking the supply of our fresh, superfrozen, and canned tuna from the vessel onward, ensuring complete transparency and accessibility of information regarding the origin of our tuna. All our superfrozen -specialized partner fleets have registered all their vessels on the PVR.

Since 2020, Comptoirs Océaniques has been a partner of the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) and a member of the Global Tuna Alliance (GTA). Those collaborations grant us access to valuable insights into best practices, enhancing our operational efficiency and supporting the long-term sustainability of fish stocks and marine ecosystems, in line with global standards for responsible fishing. We have more than doubled our volumes of Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified tuna since 2020.

Comptoirs Océaniques is also committed to the welfare of workers in its supply chain and is a member of amfori.

Our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is reflected through our Tuna Procurement Policy, the Naturatuna Charter, our Code of Business Ethics, and our policy against illegal fishing, all available on fishislife.com.

*Ce profil couvre plus de 95 % de nos approvisionnements en 2024, incluant le thon frais, en conserve et surgelé en Ultra Basse Température (UBT). L'approvisionnement en thon, notre core business, fait face à des défis spécifiques, tels que la pêche illégale. Il nous parait essentiel de garantir l'intégrité de nos chaînes d'approvisionnement, qui se composent principalement de deux niveaux — la flotte et l'usine de transformation - pour garantir la transparence requise par nos clients. Nous nous engageons à suivre l'approvisionnement de notre thon depuis le navire, pour garantir une transparence totale et un accès aux informations sur son origine. L’ensemble de nos flottes partenaires spécialisées dans l’Ultra Basse Température a enregistré la totalité de ses navires au sein du PVR.

Depuis 2020, Comptoirs Océaniques est partenaire de Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) et membre de Global Tuna Alliance (GTA). Ces partenariats nous offrent un accès à des informations précieuses sur les meilleures pratiques pour assurer la durabilité à long terme des stocks de poissons et des écosystèmes marins, en accord avec les normes internationales de pêche responsable. Nous avons plus que doublé nos volumes de thon certifié par le Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) depuis 2020.

Comptoirs Océaniques s'engage également en faveur du bien-être des travailleurs dans sa chaîne d'approvisionnement et est membre d'amfori.

Notre engagement en matière de responsabilité sociale d'entreprise (RSE) est exprimé à travers notre Politique d'Achat de Thon, la Charte Naturatuna, notre Code d'Éthique des Affaires et notre Politique en matière de pêche illégale, disponibles sur fishislife.com.
