Summary

Thai Union (TU) is committed to “Healthy Living, Healthy Oceans” as our company’s strategic focus. TU understands that the oceans are the foundation of our business and that healthy oceans are critical for the future of our planet, particularly in combating climate change. The company’s mission is to be the seafood industry’s leading agent of change, making a real positive difference for seafood consumers, our customers, and the entire seafood industry.

In 2016, Thai Union introduced its SeaChange® sustainability strategy. SeaChange® is conceived as a journey that covers every aspect of the TU’s business: from stewardship of the oceans to managing waste; from responsible treatment of workers to building brighter futures for our surrounding communities. The backbone of SeaChange® is the ability to fully trace our products – from catch to consumption. With full traceability in place, TU is able to identify, investigate and improve performance on key issues in the four work programs of SeaChange®: Safe and Legal Labor, Responsible Sourcing, Responsible Operations and People and Communities.

This can only be achieved through collaboration and shared goals, as highlighted by UN SDG 17 – Partnerships for the Goals. TU is an active member in many pre-competitive collaborative initiatives and has a multitude of relationships and projects underway with NGOs, governments and associations. TU is proud to be a member of the United Nations Global Compact, and a founding member of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF). TU engages with our suppliers on many pilot projects as well as Fishery and Aquaculture Improvement Projects to drive continuous improvement through all levels of the supply chain. TU’s ongoing work on sustainability led to the company being listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices for the seventh consecutive year in 2020, and ranked number two in the world on the Food Products Industry Index. TU was also named to the FTSE4Good Emerging Index for the fifth straight year in 2020.

The scope of the profile includes wild-caught and farmed seafood sourced for Thai Union's branded and private labelled products in 2020.

General Notes In response to the suspension of the MSC certified fishery, a supply chain-led initiative called the North Atlantic Pelagic Advocacy (NAPA) Group was formed by retailers and processors in the UK, and has since expanded to include European retailers and processors. Thai Union has been a formal member of the group since April 2021. NAPA aims to develop a shared solution to sustainability issues in the North East Atlantic fisheries for mackerel, herring and blue whiting, and is seeking a formal agreement on catch limits for North East Atlantic Pelagic fisheries that reflects the scientific advice.

Environmental Notes Salmon rely on wild capture fisheries for feed. Atlantic salmon are not native to Australia. Farmed salmon escapes and disease outbreaks may impact on wild salmonids. In addition, impacts on water quality from salmon farms pose a threat to the endangered Maugean skate, found only in Macquarie Harbour on the west coast of Tasmania. Impacts on water quality are localized, but there is potential for cumulative impacts in densely farmed areas. Waste from high salmon production has been linked to low oxygen levels and pollution of the seabed in Macquarie Harbour, a sensitive waterway adjacent to a World Heritage Area.

Environmental Notes Pangasius feed includes low levels of fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources but the feed used may not be responsibly sourced. A lack of data from uncertified production of pangasius means the extent of environmental impacts are unknown but concerns include a reliance on wild caught broodstock, disease transfer, escapes, and predator control methods. Pangasius farming in Vietnam is linked to unregulated disposal of waste into adjoining waterways with cumulative impacts that contribute to water pollution. Other concerns include chemical and antibiotic use, and freshwater depletion. General Notes The government requires pangasius farms to be managed under a zonal approach.

Environmental Notes Pangasius feed includes low levels of fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources. Feed inputs are not required to be responsibly sourced. As a native species, the risk to wild populations from escapes is low. Juveniles used in pangasius farming come from Vietnamese hatcheries and the trade of wild-caught broodstock is limited. Pangasius farming in Vietnam is linked to illegal disposal of waste into adjoining waterways with cumulative impacts that contribute to water pollution. However, certified farms are assumed to dispose of waste properly. General Notes The government requires pangasius farms to be managed under a zonal approach.

Environmental Notes Trout have a high requirement for fish in their diet. Rainbow trout are not native to Chile but have become established in the wild due to intentional stocking. However, there are still concerns about the impact of farmed salmonid escapes and disease outbreaks on wild fish populations. Available data indicates that large numbers of farmed trout have escaped each year since the early 1990s. Production using open net cages and ponds results in the discharge of waste and nutrients directly into the surrounding water.

Environmental Notes Trout have a high requirement for fish in their diet. Rainbow trout are not native to Norway. There are concerns about the impact of farmed salmonid escapes and disease outbreaks on wild fish populations. On average, 44,000 rainbow trout were registered escaped from Norwegian fish farms per year from 2010 to 2018. The most common cause of escapes are holes in the net. Fish farmers in Norway are legally obliged to report escapes. Impacts on water quality depend on the farming method used.

Environmental Notes Tilapia require relatively low inputs of fishmeal and fishoil from marine feed sources in their diet. However, there are significant concerns about the sustainability of feed inputs from domestic sources, which are produced from fisheries that are fully exploited overexploited, or depleted. There is little information available regarding impacts of Chinese tilapia production on wild species, including impacts from escapes, disease outbreaks, and interactions with predators and other wildlife. Nile tilapia are considered highly invasive and there are documented examples of tilapia populations outcompeting local fish species for resources in Chinese waterways. Despite this, there is no information on tilapia escapes at a farm level. In addition, there is little information about on-farm diseases in Chinese tilapia production and disease outbreaks pose a risk to wild fish populations. There is no information regarding interactions with wildlife which may include migrating birds. Pollution from nutrients and organic matter, as well as chemical inputs, may affect local water quality. There is limited information regarding on-farm chemical use and the impact of effluent released by tilapia pond&dash;based farms in China. But there is evidence of the use of illegal chemicals and of antibiotics important to human health in Chinese tilapia production. General Notes Area-based approaches to aquaculture are included in the national and provincial legislation, but it is unclear whether zonal approaches to siting and production are used.

Environmental Notes Fishmeal and fish oil from marine feed sources are used. At least 50% of the feed used in certified production is required to be responsibly or sustainably sourced. Disease transfer between farmed and wild prawns is a concern but infrequent water exchange on whiteleg shrimp farms moderates the risk. Information on escapes is limited. Shrimp farmed in Ecuador are raised from hatchery-raised native broodstock, therefore lowering the risk to wild shrimp populations if interbreeding does occur, however, interbreeding may still result in reduced genetic fitness. Pollution from nutrients and organic matter, as well as chemical inputs, may affect local water quality. Impacts on water quality vary depending on farm practices including the frequency of waste discharge from ponds. General Notes The environmental impacts described are addressed to some degree by certification. The government has adopted a farm-based approach to aquaculture regulations and licensing.
