Kudos
- Actively educating customers about seafood sustainability through awareness campaigns.
- Removed longlined swordfish from sale since last report.
- Developed sustainability policy so that it applies to all products containing marine ingredients in all stores.
Criticism
- 8 Redlist species still on sale.
- Newly acquired stores have not fully implemented Loblaw’s policy, and continue to sell additional Redlist species.
- Labeling does not yet include how or where seafood was caught or farmed
