Wal-Mart Ranking

Overall Grade 10 1.0

Wal-Mart

Redlist species sold

6 of the 15 Redlist species are sold.

Wal-Mart Canada does not have fresh seafood counters in its stores, thus limiting the range of fish sold.

Sustainable seafood policies and labeling

Wal-Mart Canada has committed to developing a sustainable seafood policy beginning in 2009 but has not set a deadline for completion.

Wal-Mart Canada labels wild fish that are MSC-certified and shrimp that are ACC certified.

Kudos

  • Has committed to developing a seafood policy in 2009.
  • Has indicated it has a goal of providing more seafood that is sustainably harvested
  • Sells relatively few Redlist species

Criticism

  • Still lacks a codified seafood policy of goals and practices with a deadline for completion.
  • Still sells Redlist fish with no plans of removal.
  • Greenpeace does not endorse the certification programs Wal-Mart relies on.
