About this report<br />
This report is Tassal’s fifth annual sustainability report aligned<br />
with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) sustainability<br />
reporting framework. The report outlines our performance of<br />
material sustainability topics for Tassal’s entire operations for<br />
FY<strong>2015</strong> (1st July 2014 to 30th June <strong>2015</strong>), presented together<br />
with year on year data trends. The report boundary has not<br />
changed from our 2014 Sustainability Report, however, with<br />
the acquisition of De Costi Seafoods on July 1, <strong>2015</strong> and the<br />
construction of the Triabunna processing facility, the report<br />
boundary will change in the next reporting year. Environmental<br />
and animal welfare information span our marine operations,<br />
hatcheries and processing departments; human resources<br />
and quality information span the entire business. Safety data<br />
includes contractors. All operations are located in Australia.<br />
The report has been compiled in accordance with the GRI’s ‘In<br />
Accordance-Core’ reporting level. Restatements of previous<br />
years’ data are referred to throughout the report where<br />
applicable. Complete financial statements for the Tassal Group<br />
are available in the Tassal Group Limited Annual Report <strong>2015</strong><br />
(http://www.tassal.com.au/annual-reports/).<br />
External assurance was not sought specifically for this report,<br />
however, all financial and food quality data is externally<br />
audited. In addition, freshwater operations data is assured<br />
through the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)<br />
certification and marine operations data is assured through the<br />
ASC and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification. This<br />
audited data is marked and information that is aligned with<br />
the ASC Certification is marked with . A third party review<br />
of Tassal’s reporting against the GRI standard was conducted<br />
by sustainability consultancy ZOOiD.<br />
