Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) has announced a new partnership with Alcampo, one of Spain’s largest hypermarket chains.
Alcampo has 56 hypermarkets in the country and will become the first Spanish retailer to partner with SFP.
“This partnership will help SFP to learn and improve our systems, and this will be a key step forward to support other retailers globally in the engagement of complex fresh seafood supply chains in improving fisheries sustainability,” said Pedro Ferreiro, SFP’s deputy director of buyer engagement.
SFP and Alcampo’s deal will begin with a pilot project to test SFP’s data management tools FishSource and Metrics in the fresh seafood supply chain.
Yolanda Fernández Jiménez, Alcampo’s CSR manager, concluded: “We feel quite comfortable and confident that this is a solid partnership that will improve Alcampo’s commitment to responsible and ethical sourcing at the highest level.”
