Planet, People, and Governance
At Atlas Aquaculture, we put thought, sweat and heart into what we do. We are not afraid to ask ourselves hard questions: Why do we do what we do? Are there parts of our process that are adding to the problem? How can we, collectively and individually, be more sustainable?
Can we do better? We’d like to think so. And we want to be accountable with you, our consumers about our practices and how we want to improve. After all, being consumers ourselves, we value honesty and transparency.
With UN's Sustainable Development Goals as the starting point, here are some ways we hope to do better in, and also strive to live by -
