Leadership

Seafood sustainability is an effort that must be championed not just within our company, but also throughout our industry. In an effort to communicate our direction and commitment to seafood sustainability, we hosted the Publix Seafood Sustainability Summit in May of 2009 for all our seafood suppliers. This was the first meeting of its kind hosted by a single retailer. During the summit, we shared our message on the importance of working toward improved seafood sustainability, introduced our environmental partners, and shared our direction for improvement and the expectations of our suppliers.

We recognize that only through a unified industry effort, combined with the support of the seafood industry, will sustainability efforts truly move forward.
