Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources

The world’s oceans – their temperature, chemistry, currents and life – drive global systems that make the Earth habitable for humankind.

Our rainwater, drinking water, weather, climate, coastlines, much of our food, and even the oxygen in the air we breathe, are all ultimately provided and regulated by the sea. Throughout history, oceans and seas have been vital conduits for trade and transportation.

Careful management of this essential global resource is a key feature of a sustainable future. However, at the current time, there is a continuous deterioration of coastal waters owing to pollution and ocean acidification is having an adversarial effect on the functioning of ecosystems and biodiversity. This is also negatively impacting small scale fisheries.

Marine protected areas need to be effectively managed and well-resourced and regulations need to be put in place to reduce overfishing, marine pollution and ocean acidification.

The marine ingredients industry has a complex but well known supply chain with a well-developed series of certification and improvement schemes.

As a global company with activities all over the world, we are very much aware of our responsibility towards nature and the environment in general.

The use of marine resources in particular so the supply of raw produce is ensured for future generations.

This is the exact reason why we attach so great importance to the use of raw produce from sustainable fishing that complies with the regulations regarding sustainability as stipulated by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations) and ICES (International Council for the Exploration of the Sea).

As a responsible member of IFFO (The Marine Ingredients Organisation), TripleNine consistently operates in accordance with the principles of the MarinTrust certification wherever we are actively involved.
