We are committed to making all our activities at Sco-Fro
sustainable, for the sake of our planet and the benefit of
our customers, our suppliers and our business.
MSC accreditation
We are proud to have achieved Marine Stewardship Council
accreditation at our two Seafood factories in Fort William and
Newton Stewart and also at our Food Technology Centre in
Glasgow.
Products
All our palm oil, an important ingredient in our grocery
products, currently comes from sustainable sources. We are
currently working towards all products coming from sustainable
sources by 2012.
The MSC's Fishery Certification rewards sustainable fishing, and
fits well with our environmental programme and commitment to our
Customers, which will enable us to handle and process MSC fish.
Our Icelandic long line cod and haddock provide a sustainable
and highly sought after product, with fish typically caught,
processed and frozen all within 48 hours.
- We use small long line boats. These fast and economically
feasible day boats use passive fishing gear which protects and
preserves the marine environment in the best possible way.
- All our sourcing is based on sustainable use of marine
resources to ensure a viable environment through conservation of
biodiversity and marine ecosystems.
- We hold current fishing accreditation on the identified
sourcing supply of Long Line Cod/Haddock: RFM ( Icelandic
Responsible Fisheries) and FOTS ( Friend of the Sea)
Our approach delivers the best eating cod and haddock for the
consumer , fished responsibly.
Packaging
Wherever possible, all our packaging is made from recycled
materials and is recyclable. This also applies to our
products sourced outside the UK.
