Summary

Sysco France has been partnered with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) since 2013, when it became the international NGO’s first foodservice partner and first partner based in France. In 2017, Davigel, now Sysco France, became the first French company to participate in the Ocean Disclosure Project, signifying the company’s commitment to transparency in seafood supply chains.

The 2021 ODP profile covers the main wild-caught species sourced by Sysco France in 2020.

"Sustainability is one of Sysco France'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 2019, 64% of the volumes purchased were eco-certified, and 80% were classified as responsible or sustainable according to the Sysco 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, Sysco France is involved in the improvement of sectors by participating in three Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs).

Sourcing and therefore supplying our restaurant customers with "responsible and sustainable" Seafood Products is one of the major challenges for Sysco France in terms of Sustainable Development / Corporate Social Responsibility. Our commitment by 2025: "our TOP 15 fishery products and TOP 5 aquaculture products must be considered responsible and sustainable (labeled MSC, ASC or scientifically guaranteed). But also improve on all the rest of our range.

Our approach: promote the best, forbid the worst and improve the rest.

Promote the best

300 references resulting from "responsible and sustainable fishing and aquaculture" approaches: these are either certified seafood products (220 references), or products from sectors that are engaged in sustainability initiatives, validated by reliable scientific data (80 references).
More than 130 different species (including 75 species of wild fish) marketed to better distribute demand and protect the most sensitive species.
97% of seafood purchases used in our factory Offranville are certified "responsible fishing".
Each week, a selection of products from our range of fresh fish is labeled "Mr. Goodfish" to promote local and seasonal fisheries.

Forbid the worst

Sysco France refrains from marketing the following species whose stocks are identified as overexploited and / or carrying risks for human health:

Roundnose grenadier and Blue Ling
Blue Shark and Mako Shark
Scabbardfish

We also prohibit the marketing of fish caught below 800m (unless the fishery is certified) and the use of electric fishing, with explosives or with the help of FADs.

Improve the rest

For more than 5 years, Sysco France has been one of the only French distributors financially committed to fisheries improvement projects (FIP) or aquaculture improvement projects (AIP). For example, the New England skate fishery."

"Le développement durable fait partie des 4 engagements qualité de Sysco France. 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 2019, 64% des volumes achetés étaient écocertifiés, et 80% 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, Sysco France s’implique dans l’amélioration de filières en participant notamment à 3 FIP = Projets d'Amélioration de Pêcheries.

S'approvisionner et donc fournir à nos clients restaurateurs des Produits de la Mer "responsables et durables", voilà un des enjeux importants de Sysco France en matière de Développement Durable / Responsabilité Sociétale d'Entreprise.

Notre engagement d'ici 2025 : "notre TOP 15 des produits de la pêche et TOP 5 des produits d'aquaculture doivent être considérés comme responsables et durables (labellisés MSC, ASC ou scientifiquement garantis). Mais aussi progresser sur tout le reste de notre gamme.

Notre approche: promouvoir le meilleur, s’interdire le pire et améliorer le reste.

Promouvoir le meilleur

300 références issues de démarches "pêche et aquaculture responsables et durables" : il s’agit soit de produits de la mer éco-labellisés (220 références), soit de produits provenant de filières ayant mobilisé les moyens pour plus de durabilité, validés par des données scientifiques fiables (80 références).
Plus de 130 espèces différentes (dont 75 espèces de poisson) commercialisées pour mieux répartir la demande et protéger les espèces les plus sensibles.
97% des achats de produit de la mer pour notre atelier d’Offranville sont écocertifiés "pêche responsable".
Chaque semaine, une sélection de produits de notre gamme de poisson frais est labellisée « Mr. Goodfish » pour promouvoir des pêches locales et de saison.

S’interdire le pire

Sysco France s’interdit de commercialiser les espèces suivantes dont les stocks sont identifiés comme surexploités et/ou porteurs de risques pour la santé humaine:

Grenadier et Lingue bleue
Requin peau bleu et Requin mako
Sabre

Nous nous interdisons également la commercialisation de poissons pêchés en dessous de 800m (sauf si la pêcherie est certifiée) et l’utilisation de pêche électrique, à l’explosif ou à l'aide de DCP.

Améliorer le reste

Depuis plus de 5 ans, Sysco France est un des seuls distributeurs français en RHF engagé financièrement dans des projets d’amélioration de pêcheries (FIP) ou d’aquacultures (AIP). Comme par exemple la pêcherie de raie de Nouvelle Angleterre."

Environmental Notes Previous concerns over interactions with seabirds have been mitigated using bird scaring lines and a reduction in fishing effort. However, there is still a lack of knowledge regarding the extent of fishery interactions with some PET species. There is bycatch for this fishery but there is a strategy in place for managing retained species. The estimated discard rate for the fishery is low. Bottom trawls will directly impact on the sea bed, however, this fishery is considered highly unlikely to have an irreversible impact on habitat structure and function.
