Foodservice distributor Sysco Corporation is expanding its commitment to improve the sustainability of its seafood procurement practices and standards through 2020, in collaboration with World Wildlife Fund (WWF).
The company is pledging to increase its offerings of responsibly-caught Portico and Sysco Brand seafood products to its customers.
Sysco is adding a new commitment to source its top five Sysco Brand aquaculture species from farms that are either certified by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), in ASC full assessment, in aquaculture improvement projects leading to ASC certification, and/or certified to a minimum two star rating on the Best Aquaculture Practices standards as defined by the Global Aquaculture Alliance.
