OLVEA Fish Oils has successfully completed the renewal of its Friend of the Sea certification.
The France-based company has been FoS certified since 2011 and is a leading bulk supplier of sardine Omega-3 fish oils from the Central Eastern Atlantic Ocean fishing zone (FAO area 34). Fish are caught by FoS approved selective Moroccan purse seiners, with no impact to the seabed. The target stock is neither overfished nor overexploited.
OLVEA Fish Oils has a strong and rigorous sustainability management policy in place. The Friend of the Sea certification is part of OLVEA Fish Oils’ commitment to sustainable fishing:
- To source its fish oils in geographical fishing areas where fish stocks have been monitored and assessed by FAO and local oceanographic research institutes as not presenting any risk of collapsing
- To guarantee that the fish species used in the production of its Omega-3 oils are not on the IUCN red list of threatened species, nor on the appendices I to III of the CITES Convention
- To support the artisanal fishing through its supplies
- To follow the FAO code of conduct for responsible fishing and fish farming, and provide to its eco-responsible customers fish oils exclusively processed from by-products
OLVEA Fish Oils’ supply chain is closely monitored from the purchase order to the final destination.
