Seattle Fish Company to Host Sustainability Open House August 30

Seattle Fish Company has long had a commitment to support sustainable fishing efforts, helping maintain product resources, reduce bycatch, and keep waters clean. The company’s dedication to smart purchasing practices initiated a larger conversation about overall sustainability practices.

In 2008, Seattle Fish became involved with Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), an eco-labeling organization that ensures that seafood is traced back to a sustainable fishery. Impressed with the organization’s efforts, Seattle Fish took steps to become the only seafood wholesaler in the country to obtain MSC certification. From there, the company created an internal green team and set sustainability goals.

Now, just two years later, the company has reached several sustainability milestones—from retrofitting all lighting for energy efficiency to participating in talks between the world’s most influential seafood conservation organization (Monterey Bay Aquarium) and world’s largest producer of farmed salmon (Marine Harvest’s Sayward hatchery) to discuss current sustainability initiatives.

Seattle Fish Company is hosting a sustainability open house to celebrate its accomplishments in sustainability as well as to unveil the company’s most recent initiative—one of the largest privately owned solar arrays in Denver.

Join us as we celebrate our sustainability milestones and unveil a new rooftop solar array—one of the largest privately owned solar arrays in Denver.
