Sustainability underpins every sourcing decision we make. We recognise that the long term future of our business depends on the health of marine environments, responsible farming practices and strong supply partnerships.
Responsible sourcing is achieved through strict adherence to our internal policies, specifications and key pillars. These frameworks guide how we assess suppliers, manage risk and ensure consistent quality.
As part of Labeyrie Fine Foods, we benefit from a dedicated salmon sourcing team with specialist aquaculture expertise. This allows us to apply a consistent, informed approach across our supply base and secure access to high quality raw material.
Our Farne Supplier Performance Assessment system supports this process, enabling us to monitor supplier performance and select the best performing salmon for use within our factories.
Our wild salmon is predominantly sourced from Alaskan fisheries, widely recognised for responsible fisheries management and sustainability.
All fisheries are assessed against strict sourcing criteria, including:
We only approve fisheries that demonstrate compliance with these requirements, supported by independent certification and expert guidance where appropriate.
We actively engage with suppliers to review emerging practices, innovations and technologies that support improved sustainability outcomes. This includes developments in fish health, feed innovation and environmental impact reduction. Our approach is based on ongoing assessment and collaboration, ensuring our standards continue to evolve alongside the industry.
