Nha Trang Bay Joint Stock Company has achieved Friend of the Sea certification.

Nha Trang Bay is a processing plant controlled by Hai Vuong Corporation. Tuna and swordfish from approved Friend of the Sea fleets and processed by Nha Trang Bay are now authorised to carry the FoS eco-label.

The fish come from stocks that are not considered to be overexploited, according to the RFMOs latest assessments. Nha Trang Bay is also approved Dolphin-Safe for its tuna products by the Earth Island Institute.

Nha Trang Bay has a traceability system in place and it can demonstrate which products originate from the FoS approved fleet.

The company has also been audited according to FoS social accountability requirements. More than 90% of the employees are locals, and compliance with safety, health and adequate salary regulations have all been verified by the independent auditor and they are regularly inspected by the official controllers.

“Friend of the Sea audit requirements are very strict so we are proud to have obtained the certification”, said Mr Nam, chairman of Hai Vuong Corporation. “We will continue to rely on Friend of the Sea to improve our commitment to the marine environment and to social accountability.”
