Young’s focuses on carbon footprint reduction

As a seafood company, Young's states that its key environmental priority is for marine resources and responsible fisheries. The company works with the Marine Stewardship Council, and recently published its Ten Principles for Responsible Fish Procurement. But global warming, to which greenhouse gas emissions contribute, is also a cause for concern, not least because global warming impacts on oceans and movement of fish populations. The company has now declared the implementation of a "programme of initiatives" to decrease its carbon footprint - directly, with its business partners, and throughout its supply chain. A spokesperson for the company told the news source FoodProductionDaily.com that the company is not yet disclosing details of the programme, but that its targets are likely to be made public early next year.
