Thai Union Group is joining two global environmental initiatives in a move it says will reinforce the company’s commitment to sustainability.
Pledging its support at COP 28, the seafood leader has joined the Ocean Breakthroughs and Transforming our Food Systems initiatives.
“Thai Union’s support of these critical calls to action marks a significant milestone in our sustainability journey,” said Adam Brennan, chief sustainability officer, Thai Union Group.
“These initiatives represent an important step in addressing two of the most pressing environmental challenges facing our planet, and becoming a signatory underscores Thai Union’s commitment to playing a leading role towards a more sustainable and resilient future.”
The Ocean Breakthroughs initiative, spearheaded by the UN Climate Change High-Level Champions, aims to harness the ocean’s potential to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2050.
The Transforming our Food Systems initiative calls for a resilient, fair and sustainable transformation of food systems, addressing challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss and unsustainable practices in global food and agriculture.
Through its SeaChange 2030 strategy, Thai Union has pledged to promote sustainable food systems and work to combat climate change. The strategy comprises 11 goals including net-zero by 2050, a US$7 million investment in restoring ecosystems and a commitment to sourcing 100% of soy and palm oil from certified sources.
