Supplier’s assurance.Why and how to use the criteria?
The recommendations of the WWF guide are based on the status of fish stocks and the sustainability of fishing methods. For farmed fish, the recommendations in the guide take into account the environmental impacts. The recommendations in the guide may change based on the development of fish stocks and the latest research findings. According to the guide, fish from the green list should be prioritised in sourcing. These fish species have healthy populations, and their capture or farming does not cause significant adverse environmental impacts.Species from the yellow list should be purchased with discretion: the sustainability of these fish stocks varies by region, and fishing and farming methods can have negative environmental impacts. Species from the red list should be avoided: these species are either endangered or heavily overfished, and their capture or farming methods can have devastating environmental impacts. Note: farmed Norwegian salmon, for example, is not on the green or yellow list of the WWF Fish Guide. If the decision is made in menu planning to offer farmed Norwegian salmon, it is important to ensure it is produced as sustainably as possible.Criterion information
