Sustainability at Kish Fish
At Kish Fish, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As a leading seafood supplier, we understand the importance of protecting marine ecosystems and reducing our environmental footprint. We are committed to sourcing our seafood from certified sustainable fisheries, ensuring that we contribute to the long-term health of fish populations and their habitats. Our partners adhere to the standards of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), guaranteeing that responsible fishing and aquaculture practices are followed.
Beyond sustainable sourcing, Kish Fish is actively working to minimize our energy and water consumption across our facilities. We have implemented energy-efficient systems, including heat recovery from our chill and cold rooms, to reduce waste and optimize resources. Our environmentally friendly smokehouse uses timber from PEFC-certified, sustainable forests, further reducing our carbon footprint.
We are also focused on waste reduction. Our staff are trained in water conservation and waste separation practices, helping us achieve higher recycling rates and reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill. By continuously setting and reviewing environmental targets, we ensure that sustainability remains a key focus in our business strategy.
