Shellfish aquaculture is inherently sustainable - it doesn’t involve the addition of any feed or chemical treatments to the water. Oysters even sequester carbon into the shell as they grow, and we are constantly assessing our practices to further reduce our climate impact.
We are a member of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), a not-for-profit organization leading the development of a circular economy for packaging in Australia.
We design and review our packaging using ACPO’s sustainable packaging guidelines and have made a range of improvements to our packaging such as reducing the amount of cardboard used in our Akoya packaging. Click here to read our Annual Report and Action Plan.
Our shellfish have attained Friend of the Sea certification, a leading standard that recognizes sustainable aquaculture practices and promotes marine conservation.
In 2020 our aquaculture products were the first in Australia to be certified Carbon Neutral by Climate Active - a rigorous Australian Government initiative. This means we have achieved net zero carbon emissions in the production of our shellfish.
