Two complaints, filed in the federal district courts, in the U.S. states of Illinois and California, each seek at least $5 million dollars in damages. The complaint cited Greenpeace East Asia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-eastasia-stateless\/2022\/09\/eec7f568-en-fakemycatch.pdf\">research into Bumble Bee\u2019s practices<\/a>, which found that environmental harm and human rights violations were present in the company\u2019s supply chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Marilu Cristina Flores, Senior Oceans Campaigner at Greenpeace USA, said: <\/strong>\u201cConsumers deserve transparency when purchasing what they believe to be sustainable and ethical seafood. We hope this lawsuit leads to urgent and comprehensive reform in an industry notorious for its harmful environmental practices, human rights violations, and lack of transparency. Bumble Bee, as one of the leading companies in the canned tuna market, has the power to impact the health of our oceans and the lives of fishers at sea. But for years, they have failed to take the full measure of their responsibility. It is time to hold them accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-eastasia-stateless\/2022\/09\/eec7f568-en-fakemycatch.pdf\">Fake My Catch \u2013 the unreliable traceability in our tuna cans<\/a>\u201d\u00a0 sheds light on illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (IUU), its environmental destruction, and how forced labor is reinforced through its practice. Published in 2022 it found that over 10% (13) of the 119 sampled Taiwanese-flagged\/owned vessels that supplied Bumble Bee had previously violated Taiwan Fishery Agency regulations and were on their Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) list. The report presents interviews revealing that some vessels supplying Bumble Bee reportedly engaged in shark finning and illegal fishing. It includes statements\u00a0 by several fishers who worked aboard vessels supplying Bumble Bee of excessive overtime hours while having their wages withheld. Particularly alarming was the discovery of a canned Bumble Bee product at a Harris Teeter grocery store in Arlington, Virginia, which contained fish sourced from the Da Wang \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.taipeitimes.com\/News\/taiwan\/archives\/2022\/04\/22\/2003777029\">a vessel that was confirmed by US Customs &amp; Border Protection to have employed forced labor<\/a>, prompting questions about whether tainted products are on US supermarket shelves. Greenpeace USA, through its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/reports\/2023-tuna-scorecard\/\">tuna retailer scorecard<\/a>, continues to encourage grocery stores not to stock Bumble Bee tuna.\u00a0 But many, including <a href=\"https:\/\/engage.us.greenpeace.org\/OnlineActions\/IVDTcofT602FeFU84P8_OA2?utm_source=website&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=tunascorecard&amp;sourceid=1015770&amp;_ga=2.175577954.1152700953.1678221413-1844313276.1674048716\">Kroger<\/a> (which owns Harris Teeter), still do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mallika Talwar, Senior Oceans Campaigner at Greenpeace USA who participated in an <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/news\/bumble-bee-goodforwho-proclaims-banner-at-padres-game\/\"><strong>action calling out the company<\/strong><\/a><strong> at Petco Park Stadium in San Diego near the company\u2019s headquarters, said: <\/strong>\u201cBumble Bee positions itself as dedicated to\u00a0 \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bumblebee.com\/sustainability\/\">sustainable fishing<\/a>\u201d and advocates for fishers, and says their products are \u201cGood For You.\u201d But given the suspected environmental harm and human rights violations in their supply chain, we must ask, \u201cGood for who?\u201d That isn\u2019t good for anyone\u00a0 \u2014 not the vulnerable fishers who face harm or death, nor Americans who expect companies like Bumble Bee to ensure their products were not made with forced labor, and certainly not for our oceans and our planet. We call on Bumble Bee to put our planet and people before their profits and clean up their supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>High-seas fisheries was a highly debated area of the negotiations for the historic global ocean treaty which countries agreed to on March 4, after almost 10 years of negotiations. The Treaty, hailed as the biggest conservation agreement in the history of the world, provides a pathway to establish a network of marine sanctuaries across the globe\u2014 areas where fragile ecosystems and depleted populations of marine life can recover and thrive. The treaty must be ratified by 60 countries to take effect. Greenpeace USA has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/usa\/news\/nations-agree-on-historic-global-oceans-treaty\/\">called on the Biden Administration<\/a> to lead the way by ratifying this treaty quickly and working to implement real protections at sea.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">###<\/p>\n<p>Photo and videos of the action in San Diego are available <a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/shoot\/27MDHUFHC8RM\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Copy of Complaint available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classaction.org\/media\/nasser-et-al-v-bumble-bee-foods-llc.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Greenpeace USA <\/strong>is part of a global network of independent campaigning organizations that use peaceful protest and creative communication to expose global environmental problems and promote solutions that are essential to a green and peaceful future.
