Our Policies
Our Modern Slavery Act Statement transparently details what we have done thus far, and what we will do over the upcoming year, to address any risk of unethical working conditions in our international supply chains.
Responsible sourcing is one of Kingfisher Foods’ guiding principles. With the majority of our sales in seafood, we have created a Sustainability Policy to help guide our decisions.
Kingfisher Foods are committed to stewarding the natural resource on which our trade depends. The maintenance of healthy tuna stocks is of central importance to us. We have prepared the following statement in response to ISSF Conservation Measure 2.4.

Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs)
Morocco
Started by Kingfisher Foods and its partners in 2014, this FIP led to improvements in transparency, data collection, and management strategy. The FIP helped Moroccan fishermen to get a fair price for their catch and ensure that sardine stocks are healthy far into the future. Kingfisher Foods continues to drive progress, with the FIP working towards the In-Transition to MSC (ITM) program.
Peru
Started by Kingfisher Foods in September 2016, the FIP was formed to eliminate the demand for illegally caught fish by introducing measures to further incentivise legal fishing and enforce harvest controls. The FIP continues to drive improvements through its stakeholders, including government, fishermen’s association and industry, and has achieved a milestone regulation on catch quotas for the artisanal fleet and observers’ onboard vessels collecting data.
