In May 2020, we signed a long-term, multi-country partnership with Oxfam Italy to promote the concept of \u201chealthier and more sustainable food\u201d,<\/b><\/strong> not only for the environment and those who consume it, but also for those who produce it.<\/p>\n

The aim of our partnership with Oxfam a confederation of 21 non-governmental organizations, active in more than 60 countries around the world and working to eliminate the inequalities and injustice of poverty<\/em> is to develop new standards of social business sustainability in the tuna industry, <\/b><\/strong>reinforcing our long-standing commitment.<\/p>\n

The tuna supply chain is one of the longest and most complex in the food industry<\/b><\/strong> as it involves several actors, primarily located in Global South countries, taking part in the fishing and in the processing phases. Tropical tuna species, used for canning, are caught in the tropics, far from the coast and, in most cases, by fishing vessels flagged under countries with legal and cultural frameworks that may not fully guarantee certain human rights aspects.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
