60 Below Zero - We respect the sea | We are sustainable

WE ARE SUSTAINABLE. FOR THE PRODUCT. FOR THE ENVIRONMENT

Our response to the global needs on fish and seafoods consumption is being shown/followed by our philosophy of respect and constant innovation and developing for the sustainable catches.
Respecting the environment is the only way to guarantee our quality standards.
This is our way of being thankful for what the sea offers us.
For nature, for you.

Certifications

We currently hold 3 certifications regarding to products: MSC, DS and FOS. Every certification involves a responsibility, as we must ensure that the supply chain of the raw material is respected (we must be able to prove it through documentation, either in an internal audit, from the client or from the certifier itself).

MSC

MSC Fisheries Standard (“At SBØ® we do our bit for the care of the oceans, that’s why we market fish caught under MSC sustainable capture principles”):

Sustainable fisheries
A sustainable fishery finds the balance between the amount of fish caught and the amount of fish left until the next season to reproduce.

DOLPHIN SAFE

Dolphin Safe certification is the guarantee that the fish has been caught without harming or killing dolphins.

This guarantees the prohibition of casting nets on dolphins or other species in the surroundings.It puts an end to the intentional netting of dolphins and, in addition, commits fisheries to:

  • Not to use nets that catch other species during their operations.
  • The release of turtles caught accidentally.
  • Not to participate in shark finning activities. All bycatch will be released alive.
  • Incorporate devices to prevent birds from approaching hooks.
  • Do not intentionally shoot, spear, sting or harm marine mammals in any way.

FRIEND OF THE SEA

Friend of the Sea is currently a project of the World Sustainability Organization, an international trademark in the humanitarian and environmental conservation mission. Friend of the Sea has become the leading certification standard for products and services that respect and protect the marine environment. Friend of the Sea also promotes pilot projects related to restaurants, sustainable shipping, whale and dolphin watching, aquariums, ornamental fish, UV creams and others.
