In response to the news from Thai Union, Greenpeace Global Seafood Markets Project Leader Graham Forbes said:
“It’s good to see Thai Union restate its commitment to sustainable tuna. The challenge now is ensuring that the company makes investments that amount to real change for oceans and workers. To commit to MSC-certified tuna, following a highly critical WWF report about the reliability of that ecolabel, raises concerns. Real progress on tuna will require that companies like Thai Union move beyond unreliable ecolabels to take decisive action to eliminate the worst practices and problems from their supply chains.”
