Note from WWF-Australia CEO,<br />
Dermot O’Gorman<br />
“WWF is very proud of its<br />
partnership with Tassal,<br />
and, with the global<br />
sustainability leadership<br />
Tassal has brought to<br />
the Salmon aquaculture<br />
industry.”<br />
Since WWF and Tassal celebrated with<br />
the start of our Seafood partnership in<br />
March 2012, we have seen exceptional<br />
results that has put Tassal at the top<br />
of the global leaderboard in Salmon<br />
aquaculture sustainability and we see<br />
Tassal to be a regular award winner in<br />
Australia and beyond. From the outset,<br />
we sensed we had an ideal partner in<br />
this ambitious company, committed to<br />
making ‘sustainability a profit centre’<br />
and committed to preserving the<br />
environment of Tasmania as well as<br />
contributing to the local economy and<br />
local communities.<br />
The outstanding success of the<br />
partnership was Tassal becoming the<br />
first Salmon aquaculture operation<br />
in Oceania to achieve Aquaculture<br />
Stewardship Council (ASC) certification,<br />
and the first Salmon aquaculture<br />
company in the world to be 100% ASC<br />
certified. This occurred in November<br />
2014 and Tassal retains both positions<br />
today.<br />
