Sustainability is embedded in every part of our business – from how we source our seafood to how we care for our people, communities, and the planet. At Pacific, we look for any opportunity in our value chain to reduce our impact on the environment and integrate sustainability throughout all segments of our business. The health of our oceans is at the heart of our sustainability programs, and that starts with our fisheries.
Our commitment to sustainability starts at the top, with our EHS (Environmental Health & Safety) director contributing directly to company strategy as part of our Leadership Committee. This ensures environmental responsibility and safety are prioritized at the highest levels of decision-making.
Across the company, our team members donate time, talent, and energy to support local causes, participate in volunteer events, and strengthen the communities we serve. Whether it’s helping at food banks or leading coastal cleanups, our people actively live our mission every day.
We are committed to creating a safe, healthy, and respectful work environment for all Team Members by following the UN Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights and providing all Team Members with grievance mechanisms such as an anonymous tip hotline.
We practice ethical recruitment practices and offer a variety of opportunities for Team Member training and development. Our Safety Training program is built around data-driven decisions that ensure Team Members receive comprehensive and consistent training to maintain safe working environments for all. Pacific Seafood University allows all Team Members to receive training on a variety of topics including ethics, supervisory basics, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, and more. Our Team Members are also required to complete cyber security courses to learn about the fundamentals of personal data protection and mitigate data breach risks.
We are proud to be part of the communities where we operate and are committed to making a positive impact. Our mission to feed the world the healthiest protein on the planet drives our support of food banks where we have donated volunteer hours and a variety of protein to help improve access to healthy food for families and children in need.
We proudly advocate for the Seafood industry through collaboration with the USDA and other governing bodies to increase access to West Coast Seafood across the United States. We know that achieving our mission starts with supporting the communities where we live and work and advocating for policies that strengthen the seafood industry.
We’re honored to work alongside Native tribes of the Columbia River to support seafood markets on tribal lands. At our Nespelem farms in Washington, we partner with the Colville Confederated Tribes to harvest our Columbia River Steelhead – a Pacific Seafood Exclusive. More than half of our team members there are Colville tribal members, and we retain a tribal member hiring preference
As part of our broader sustainability efforts, we’ve placed a strong focus on water conversation and its importance within our communities. Each year we host World Oceans Day clean up across our facilities, bringing together our team members to remove waste and plastic in our communities which prevents it from entering waterways and protects ocean health. In 2025, we collected over 3,000 lbs. of debris, bringing our companywide total to over 12,000 lbs. of debris collected and responsibly disposed of over the course of 4 years.
Protecting the health of our oceans is central to everything we do – and it all begins with our fisheries. We proudly source wild caught seafood from responsibly managed fisheries certified by NOAA or Fishers and Oceans Canada and partner collaboratively with the NOAA Fisheries Science Centers, the Regional Fisheries Councils, the states, and the NOAA Fisheries Policy Division. Together, we work to maintain healthy fish populations and ensure our stocks are sustainable for future generations.
Our aquaculture operations play a key role in supporting sustainable seafood production. By responsibly farming species like Columbia River steelhead, Pacific oysters, and mussels, we help meet the growing demand for high-quality seafood which allow us to provide a consistent supply while reducing reliance on wild fisheries.
We are committed to continuously improving our operations through process optimization, efficient resource use, and significant pollutant reductions. Our Sustainability Saves campaign fosters opportunities for sustainable water and energy use while educating frontline Team Members on the importance of resource conservation. Through investment in water treatment systems and consistent training for Team Members, we proudly reduced pollutant concentrations in discharged process water by over 50% at our largest facilities. In 2024, our team members collectively helped reduce water usage by 16%—the equivalent of what 1,000 homes use in a year—while also cutting energy usage by 3.5%. These efforts reflect our companywide commitment to sustainable operations and resource conservation.
