Pacific Seafood Releases Eighth Annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report “Stronger Together” 

Clackamas, Ore., April 8, 2025

Pacific Seafood, provider of the healthiest protein on the planet, has released its eighth annual Corporate Social Responsibility Report, “Stronger Together.” The 2024 report highlights the company’s ambitious efforts to grow responsibly and sustainably, reflecting a year of progress toward Mission 31, Pacific Seafood’s strategic initiative to double the size of its business by 2031. 

The report outlines bold advancements made in the first year of Mission 31, including the acquisition of new processing operations in Kodiak, Alaska; expansion of value-added production in Washington and Texas; and the rollout of a nationwide salmon program. These milestones represent more than growth—they create opportunities for team members, strengthen the company’s support for local fleets, and make sustainable seafood more accessible than ever. 

This year’s theme, “Stronger Together,” reflects Pacific Seafood’s philosophy of excellence: consistently doing your best and always striving to do better—together with team members, partners, and communities. 

Highlights of the report include:
