There are many aspects to sustainability, but our essential aim is to operate in a responsible way which meets the needs of people and business - without compromising the needs of future generations.
As we are a seafood company, our key environmental priority is that of sustainable fisheries – it’s our specialism and the area in which we can most help drive improvement. Our 'Fish for Life' approach encompasses all the work we do to ensure Young’s fish is responsibly sourced, based on our guiding 'Ten Principles for Responsible Fish Procurement' and underpinned by our own unique process for assessing fisheries and fish farms.
We take all our responsibilities very seriously and are committed to playing our part in addressing fisheries and other important environmental, workplace and social concerns, both locally and internationally. We are not afraid to challenge industry practices which we feel are inappropriate and hold our own policies under regular review in the light of a rapidly changing world.

As we are a seafood company, our most important environmental priority is that of sustainable fisheries - because this is the area in which we can have the most impact. We describe our approach as 'Fish for Life' - the core principles of which are summarised in our 'Ten Principles for Responsible Fish Procurement' document. Ten Principles is underpinned by our own unique fisheries assessment process.
We work actively with our supplier network to initiate and support projects, policies and actions which make a valid contribution to long term sustainability.
