Sustainable Seafood
As the global demand for seafood continues to grow, we believe we can play an important role in supporting the long-term health of fisheries and aquaculture through the distribution of responsibly sourced seafood. We're continually working to make seafood choices easier and more transparent for you through our Serve Good® and Progress Check® programs.
Serve Good®
Our Serve Good portfolio showcases Exclusive Brands seafood products that carry the highest levels of seafood sustainability certifications, demonstrating supply chain commitment to responsible sourcing and traceability. Our wild‑caught seafood is certified by programs such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), and our farm‑raised seafood is certified to standards such as Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) at the highest available star rating. All certifications are benchmarked by the Global Seafood Sustainability Initiative (GSSI).
Progress Check®
Achieving the highest levels of sustainability certification requires years of investment from fisheries, farms and processors. Our Progress Check program recognizes seafood products that are on their way to meeting our full sustainability standards, and stewards the process toward certification and addition to our Serve Good portfolio.
Suppliers of wild-caught Progress Check products must be participants in an active Fishery Improvement Project that gathers supply chain stakeholders together to ensure the fishery’s viability. Farm-raised Progress Check products carry a one-, two- or three-star BAP rating. Suppliers of farm-raised products may also be participants in an Aquaculture Improvement Project.
