Compass Group Press Release
March 16, 2009
Mississauga, Ontario: Compass Group Canada is implementing their second big change on their path towards seafood sustainability – they are removing open net-pen farmed salmon from their menus. Compass Group Canada is leading the national foodservice sector with their commitment announced last spring to shift menus across Canada towards more environmentally responsible seafood. Their clients include workplaces, educational institutions, hospitals, entertainment facilities and remote camps.
“When we announced our sustainable seafood policy last year we made a commitment to shift our procurement toward choices that were better for ocean health. Our first step was replacing Atlantic cod and the response from our chefs, customers, and clients was very positive,” stated Laurie Brager, Director of Sustainability “Today we are proud to announce a second major shift to demonstrate our continued progress on this important issue.” Compass Group Canada is working with both the Vancouver Aquarium’s Ocean Wise program and the national SeaChoice program to implement their sustainable seafood commitment.
