1. FRIEND OF THE SEA
Our fish oils are certified sustainable by Friend of the Sea (FOS). FOS is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation (NGO), whose mission is the conservation of the marine habitat. It is now a leading international certification project for products originated from both sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. FOS leads fisheries which join the certification program to adopt selective fishing methods and reduce ecosystem impact with maximum sustainable yield. The certification also ensures high quality standards in terms of energy efficiency and social accountability.
