Our
participation in the local farmers' markets, as well as a
sincere desire to evolve has led us to implement a
variety of strategies that incorporate sustainability as a
priority in our operations and in the menu items we offer.
Our sustainability
inititatives include:
Offering a majority of
sustainably harvested or raised fish and seafood items on our
menu.
Partnering with the Ocean
Wise program out of the Vancouver Aquarium to ensure up to
date knowledge on species at risk.
Sourcing our menu items from
suppliers that are aware, engaged and educated in the realm of
sustainable food systems.
Reduced chemical waste
outputs by switching from white cardboard to brown 100%
recycled cardboard boxes for our food.
Reduced the consumption of
plastics by switching to smaller sized bags for vaccum
packaging and box liners.
Flash frozen fish and
shellfish has a lesser carbon footprint because it is
shipped/transported via truck or rail as opposed to aircraft
transport.
We recycle plastics,
cardboard, paper within our office and operations department.
We have switched to LED
light blubs in our office.
We are striving to further
improve our sustainability initiatives.
