“We are glad to record the increasing environmental awareness and engagement of the Brazilian nutraceutical industry. We welcome PoleCaps Friend of the Sea certification providing Omega-3 distributors and consumers with environmentally sustainable supplements,” commented Paolo Bray, founder and director of Friend of the Sea.
“With Friend of the Sea certification we commit to environmental sustainability in the long term,” declared Juliana Frey Weege, R&D P&D coordinator at PoleCaps. “We are motivated to spread the values of the respect of the nature and human conditions at work and keeping on maintaining our high quality standards.”
Friend of the Sea's standard for sustainable Omega-3 fish oils certifies that the oil originates only from fisheries that are compliant with Friend of the Sea’s sustainable fishing requirements, including good fishery management, selective fishing gears and social responsibility, and that a full chain of custody is in place throughout the supply and production chain.
